I was recording my screen through gtk-recordmydesktop and it crashed during the mid recording, I have relaunched the application through command line.But it came with the error. See the following error code:

#gtk-recordmydesktop 
Gtk-Message: 20:26:49.852: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_pixel'

I have tried to removed the gtk-recordmydesktop and again reinstalled it, but the efforts got no fruits, The commands I have used are :

#sudo apt remove gtk-recordmydesktop --purge
#sudo apt-get clean
#sudo apt install gtk-recordmydesktop
#gtk-recordmydesktop

meanwhile my system specifications are: OS = Linux, Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver

Output of the uname -a shows:

Linux suryaveer 4.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 6 14:45:28 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It looks like last release of gtk-recordmydesktop was made in 2008. You may want to try out SimpleScreenRecorder that seems to offer similar easy to use interface.

You can install it with this command

sudo apt install simplescreenrecorder

https://sourceforge.net/projects/recordmydesktop/files/gtk-recordMyDesktop/

  • Ubuntu 18.0.1 user here, had same issue Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" with already installed simplescreenrecorder. I had to remove and reinstall it, then it worked again.
