I'm trying to do a recording of my screen under Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity) with RecordMyDesktop. I'm posting here screenshots of its config. Also, I'm using dual monitor, and I want to select only one. So I selected it "as window". I tried giving the display as a command line argument, same result. I tried running as root, same result: "Cannot connect to X Server".

And, this is what happens every time: enter image description here

I'm not sure but the value for Misc -> Display might be the problem. You could try setting the appropriate value for the display you're trying to record.

This link should help you to check the available displays; with command:

w -hs | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u

For me the default value works which is :0.0

According to this, it is not the display parameter, but the coordinates. Try something like

recordmydesktop --display=0 --width=1920 height=1080 --fps=15 --no-sound --delay=10

on the command line, with your correct values for width and height of course.
