It's not possible to open the advanced settings window

[Christoph Langner]

Binary package hint: gtk-recordmydesktop

I'm running an uptodate version of Ubuntu Karmic. When I try to open the "Advanced" settings nothing happens, the settings window doesn't open. When i start gtk-recordMyDesktop from a terminal I see the following output... I attached the complet output to this bug.

...

same here

I've got to add, this worked on karmic a couple of days before. It looks like a update broke this.

[Fabus (fabian-gebert-hh)]

workaround: install jackd package

[n3had (n3had)]

the workaround by Fabus seems to work on my system.

[Daniel Stone (danielstone)]

I also notice the same thing but I can adjust setting in kernel 2.26.11
I do not need jackd for my audio settings they seem to work fine but
other controls not accessible like frames per second, file overwrite option and several other options

I do not see how jackd would be a valid workaround as the interface does more than sound capture settings

[Daniel Stone (danielstone)]

Workaround load into kernel 2.26.31.11 and settings can be changed this is only on 2.26.31.13 kernel

[Daniel Stone (danielstone)]

This was fixed in the 2.26.31.14 kernel loads fine without jackd installed

[Christoph Langner (chrissss)]

Yep, it works now.
