qt-recordmydesktop not launching GUI?

Post by Proioxis »

Hello there. I did a basic Salix OS install, not a full one. Now I downloaded qt-recordmydesktop from the repo but I can't get the GUI to pop up when I press it. Typing the command "recordmydesktop" in the terminal produces some text telling me it's recording but I need the GUI. I did install jack too, not sure what other dependencies I'm probably missing

PyQT?

Also, if you type recordmydesktop directly from the terminal, then you would only execute the backend. Instead, try typing qt-recordmydesktop or locate its entry in the menu?

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.

I have a new problem. I wanted to post this sooner but I didn't get a chance... Now when I record it doesn't actually output a valid video file... If I open the ogv it opens up and closes in less then a second. I'm using VLC so I doubt the player is the problem. It still encodes and outputs a large file like a video should be however, there is just no actual video.
