Weird glitches horizontal lines, missing objects when using the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. Heres a screenshot of the bug appearing in Minecraft link. Luckily there is a simple fix. Go to the NVIDIA driver settings and disable allow flipping. Ive only seen this issue for the NVIDIA prorietary driver, but it may also apply to other driversvendors. Alternatively, switch to Open. GL recording. This issue will only appear when you use an Open. GL based compositing window manager Compiz, Mutter, KWin with effects enabled,. Open. GL application and you try to record it without Open. GL recording. Im pretty sure the cause is a race condition inside the X server, where the server tries to take a screenshot of the screen while at the same time the NVIDIA driver flips the front and back buffer. The result is a screenshot of the back buffer which is in the process of being redrawn rather than the front buffer. Open. GL recording doesnt work the application size is not recognized.

If this doesnt solve the problem, you may need to do something special to get the right environment variables to the program that you want to record. For example, Steam games need some special settings. Try running the program from a terminal, and look for lines like this SSR GLInject Library loaded 6. SSR GLInject GLXFrame. Grabber 1 Created GLX frame grabber. SSR GLInject devshmssr channel maartenvideo 1. Created video stream. SSR GLInject Open. GL version 4. 4 4. NVIDIA 3. 43. 3. 6. SSR GLInject devshmssr channel maartenvideo 1. If you dont see any lines starting with SSR GLInject, the library is not loaded, which means the program didnt get the right environment variables. If the program is started through a wrapper script, you should try to run the actual program directly, without the wrapper script. If you do see lines starting with SSR GLInject, but not the one with GLXFrame. Grabber in it, the application is probably not an Open. GL program. If you do see lines starting with SSR GLInject, including the one with GLXFrame. Grabber, but it still doesnt work, please send me a bug report. Open. GL recording is experimental, so it is possible that it doesnt work yet for all programs. Slowed down, out of sync audio when recording the speakers with Pulse. Audio. When this happens, you will usually get the following error message Warning Audio input is more than 5 too fast, video and audio will be out of sync. The cause is a bug in Pulse. Audio. The issue has been fixed and the fix should arrive in some future version probably 4. For now, you can work around the bug by modifying the file etcpulsedaemon. After doing this, you should restart Pulse. Audio or just reboot. These values will force Pulse. Audio to use the same sample rate at all times rather than switching between 4. Hz and 4. 80. 00 Hz which will trigger the bug. Some users have reported that sound recorded through Pulse. Audio is still buggy even after applying this workaround, so it appears that there is more than one bug in Pulse. Audio that can cause this issue. I havent been able to reproduce this myself though. If you are unable to fix the problems with Pulse. Audio, consider using JACK instead. No sound when recording the speakers with Pulse. Audio. If no sound is recorded, make sure the monitor channel is not muted. To do this, go to the Input devices tab in Pulse. Audio Volume Control, select Show All input devices and make sure the Mute audio button of the monitor channel is not enabled. Comments. Write a comment.
