Freezing on record in Ubuntu 21.04 and derivatives
The app completely freezes, creates the (empty) files, then (on multiple clicks) offers to wait or kill.
I've tried all possible combinations of file format, microphone/sounds/cursor, window, selection full screen.

Open to suggestions. Thank you.
you can enable logs through RUST_LOG=kooha=debug
btw, does 1.2.1 works?
btw, does 1.2.1 works? Yes. it did. I will need to get back to it as I use Kooha daily (thank you very much by the way).

Thanks! Currently, I'm not exactly sure what is causing it, but I'm suspecting pipewire. For the meanwhile, you can downgrade by running the following:
flatpak update --commit=e52aeb30b4d9f97436de184b6703ae83c48468880d95f0b74916cd6fca3e7c2a io.github.seadve.Kooha
This should downgrade it to 1.2.1

Thank you for your help. I downgraded successfully. Thanks for the method as I coulnd't find it. 1.2.1 works fine.
I tested Fedora 35, and 2.0 works great. Looking forward to 2.0 on Pop (maybe 21.10, once it's out along with Ubuntu).
I will do some testing on Ubuntu 21.04 and 21.10 beta later and report back.
Thanks again.
I can confirm, the same issue exists in Ubuntu 21.04.
I can confirm, the same issue exists in Ubuntu 21.10 beta.
Everything works fine on latest Manjaro and Fedora 34.
Thanks for testing! I think this may be an issue within Ubuntu, since it is also the upstream of Pop. I'm still suspecting pipewire
Running Ubuntu 21.04, same issue here. I thought the problem was my Graphics cards, I am using a Laptop with Nvidia Optimus, I tried using Intel only, and Nvidia Only but no luck.
I have a similar issue in Ubuntu 21.10 final (wayland). It freezes for about 30 seconds, then shows
Downgrading to the older version with less functionality works.
This is still not fixed in Pop 21.04 and 21.10 beta (and I guess the equivalent Ubuntu and derivatives). The old version still works.
Just to update for 2.0.1 (which admittedly did not claim to fix the issue).
Oh WOW I got it to work! I suspect the problem is these newer versions of Ubuntu come with their own pipewire version which is out of date (0.3.32), so you need to install the latest pipewire from the ppa for kooha to work.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pipewire
I already had the old pipewire installed (no need to uninstall it), I just ran the above 3 commands, reboot then it all works.

Thanks. I will try it on my test box as it asks to also upgrade a number of other packages and I'm not comfortable with mixing ubuntu, pop and debian packages at the same time.
Thanks again.
I'd propose checking for the Pipewire version and giving a known compatible stream if the version is the one found in Ubuntu.

Hi, can you show the full logs with this, reproducing the error. I have never seen that error message.
Including PIPEWIRE_DEBUG=3 would help on determining pipewire version too
Big thanks to @SeaDve for solving this issue!
I had a bit of a hard time to find a screen recorder that works on Debian 11, and downgrading Kooha made it work.

Hi, could you please share the solution? Thanks.
Hi @spxak1 Basically, I have installed Kooha a few days ago - the latest version - but the programme didn't work. I tried to downgrade it as @SeaDve wrote on 25 Sept
Thanks! Currently, I'm not exactly sure what is causing it, but I'm suspecting pipewire. For the meanwhile, you can downgrade by running the following: flatpak update --commit=e52aeb30b4d9f97436de184b6703ae83c48468880d95f0b74916cd6fca3e7c2a io.github.seadve.Kooha This should downgrade it to 1.2.1
Kooha version 1.2.1 works fine on my Debian 11.
The only thing still remaining is that the software updates will reinstall the latest Kooha version, which will break the programme again until the the latest version is corrected.
Btw, can anyone help with a way to lock a programme installed with Flatpak in given version for the time being ? Maybe there is something similar to apt-mark hold on Flatpak but I didn't find this.
Many thanks!

Try flatpak mask io.github.seadve.Kooha
. This should prevent Kooha from being included in the updates
Hi @SeaDve, just read your reply, many thanks for the info, will try that!
Hey, just found out about Kooha when looking for screen recorders supporting wayland. Thanks so much for the project! :green_heart: :green_heart:
I also got this issue when running Kooha in Ubuntu 21.10, and can confirm that it got fixed after reverting to an older version with flatpak update --commit=e52aeb30b4d9f97436de184b6703ae83c48468880d95f0b74916cd6fca3e7c2a io.github.seadve.Kooha
The same issue also happens on Ubuntu 21.10.
Just wanted to confirm that moving to upstream version of pipewire on my Ubuntu 21.10 install per the earlier comment worked for me to.

Latest version of Kooha prompts for this:
Required runtime for io.github.seadve.Kooha/x86_64/stable (runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/41) found in remote flathub
But Ubuntu 21.10 has Gnome 40, maybe that also causes some issues?
❯ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 40.5
The downgraded version seems to depend on Gnome 40 instead of 41:
Required runtime for io.github.seadve.Kooha/x86_64/stable (runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/40) found in remote flathub
Downgraded version works fine for me as well. :+1:
