Cara, reabri o topico pelo seguinte,
desinstalei completamente o gtk-recordmydesktop e reinstalei de novo mas sem nada grafico.
sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop
depois de instalado rodei
recordmydesktop
comecou a gravar blz, dei o Ctrl C e parou de gravar e comecou a gerar o arquivo.
Gerou o out.ogg no Desktop.
Tentei rodar com o comando totem out.ogg e segue o erro que deu:
carlos@carlos-laptop:~/Desktop$ totem out.ogg
The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 51 error_code 11 request_code 141 minor_code 19)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Caso alguem tenha ideia de como arrumar, por favor ajude.
