Bug description:
Binary package hint: recordmydesktop
Ubuntu should implement the same updates from Fedora, since the
recordmydesktop package itself on SourceForge seems to have been
abandoned. Here are the two related SourceForge bugs regarding
libtheora:
Impossible to record screencast with new libtheora
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2888673&group_id=172357&atid=861428
Stops updating when switching virtual terminals in Lucid
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2999144&group_id=172357&atid=861428
Here is the Fedora fix
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525155
A workaround for people not comfortable with compiling from source is to
revert back to the Karmic libtheora file:
1. Type this in a terminal - "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and Add the
following lines:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic universe
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic multiverse
2. Open Synaptic and reload the files.
3. Do a search for libtheora, highlight the package "libtheora-bin"
and select Package -> Force Version -> Karmic. Do the same for package
"libtheora0" and hit Apply.
