    [SOLVED] x11grab

    I have a couple of old scripts that use x11grab to record the desktop via ffmpeg/avconv, but apparently x11grab doesn't exist any more.
    sudo apt-cache search x11grab
    sudo apt-cache pkgnames x11grab

    ...nothing

    Looking for suggestions of best way to record the desktop, or options for re-adding x11grab.

    You should have it as part of ffmpeg in Kubuntu 18.04.

    From the man page:
    Code:
                   ffmpeg -f x11grab -video_size cif -framerate 25 -i :0.0 /tmp/out.mpg
    Code:
    $ apt policy ffmpeg
    ffmpeg:
     Installed: 7:3.4.2-2
     Candidate: 7:3.4.2-2

      Inconceivable!
