Sorry, if this is answered elsewhere - but really looked and looked

I have the opportunity to use the N900 from time to time and would like to be able to record screen sessions - and not only screenshots.

Does anyone know how to do that ?

I use Load-Applet for screenshots and it is supposed to do screencast recordings too - but the clips end up without any content.

Anyone ?

That's for screenshot, yes.

But Screencast is different thing, it's like recording video from the screen.

I've got the same problem myself.

What version are you using?
I think the version 0.4.5-2 should work (it's in extras-devel), but the previous ones lack the gstreamer module necessary to record screencasts.

It must still be missing because I'm running 0.4.5-2 and I'm getting the all black recordings still.

Just tried it and it's all black too. The developer has built its own gstreamer module, and it must be somewhat broken.

With previous versions I had it working, just copying the gstreamer module from the SDK package to the right place.

Workaround: install the version from extras-testing (0.4.4-2), copy libgstximagesrc.so to /usr/lib/gstreamer0.10/ and don't update load-applet until this is fixed.

How do I get access to /usr/lib ... The File Manager who is part of N900, does not show those folders.

emelfm2 or midnight commander

They are great file system managers! I use emelfm2, so I'll show you how using that...

Start xterm
make sure you have a root program, like rootsh or gainroot
become root (by typing "root" or "sudo gainroot" or whatever)
type emelfm2 and press enter
Then browse to /usr/lib (its just like in windows explorer)
ta da!!!

I am not sure if these programs are available for N900, this is for N8x0.

You can always access this from the command line and use mv to move files.
