I'm looking for something to the equivalent of licecap.
It's an animated gif screen capture tool. I use it mainly for capturing QA bug reports during development.

Please take a look at the software Byzanz. There is a tutorial here: https://www.maketecheasier.com/record-screen-as-animated-gif-ubuntu/ – May 04 '16 at 16:08

Byzanz desktop recorder is available in the universe repository in Ubuntu 14.04 and later. Byzanz also allows recording of audio, when the output format supports it.
sudo apt install byzanz
Tto record from screen run the byzanz-record command in the terminal with the following syntax:
byzanz-record -d DURATION --delay=DELAY -x X-COORDINATE -y Y-COORDINATE -w WIDTH -h HEIGHT YOUR-FILENAME
Example:
byzanz-record -d 20 --delay=6 -x 0 -y 0 -w 1200 -h 800 desktop-animation.gif
will record 20 seconds from a rectangular screen area starting at top left 0,0 with width 1200 and height 800 into a file named animation.gif with an initial delay of 6 seconds.
