user4658: I am using Recordmydesktop to record skype conversations. After an important recording, I went to the linux terminal where the recording was supposed to be taking place and all I could see was:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Recordmydesktop does to me this kind of thing sometimes, usually it happens with the most important recordings. Please provide a working alternative desktop recording software for linux.

user6671: I've used both Simple Screen Recorder and Open Broadcaster Software. SSP is really simple and easy to use, and I believe it's in the Ubuntu app store. OBS requires a command line installation and the installation of ffmpeg as well, which often has to be compiled. OBS is a little more complex to use and might be overkill for your needs, but it is very powerful.
