taking a screenshot or partial screenshot works fine, but when i try to record and click on the record button, it prompts the timer on the top bar and instantly disappears and, eventually, recording doesn't happen. And this is happening in just a second. Why am I encountering this problem? i had Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I upgraded to 21.10 and then to 22.04 LTS. Please help me.

2Similar issue has been resolved by reinstalling gstreamer: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1410205/screen-recorder-not-working-on-ubuntu-22-04 – Faire May 26 '22 at 14:56

Given the suggested solution, maybe this is more common on upgraded systems rather than on freshly installed 22.04. – matanox Jan 25 '24 at 14:57

Delete the cached gstreamer directory:
rm -rf ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0

In case
rm -rf ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0does not work, just run it with administrator/root privileges.sudo rm -rf ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0Thanks @Janghou. – Joachim Rives Jul 22 '22 at 01:38 -

First solution
Enables the proposed archive: How do I add the "proposed" repository?
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipewire
This will update your pipewire version to the proposed version (updated to: 10/11/2022): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pipewire/0.3.48-1ubuntu3
Disables the proposed archive.
sudo apt-get update
Second solution
Demote the following packages:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-pipewire=0.3.48-1ubuntu1 pipewire=0.3.48-1ubuntu1 libpipewire-0.3-0=0.3.48-1ubuntu1 libspa-0.2-modules=0.3.48-1ubuntu1 libpipewire-0.3-modules=0.3.48-1ubuntu1 pipewire-bin=0.3.48-1ubuntu1
With both solutions unfortunately the mouse pointer is not captured in any case.
