For how long is it hanging? What was your exact command? Generating the gif can take a long time.

[tjt263]

A looong time. I'll try it again and leave it, and let you know.

Try with a short asciicast first. Make the shortest you can find, so it takes the shortest amount of time.

#trimmed to fit^

It doesn’t help if you truncate the URL, as now I can’t try the command myself to diagnose.

[tjt263]

Well, I think you're missing the point of that info. That exact link wasn't particularly relevant. It was a stupid thing. Any substitute will do. It's always the same for me no matter what. It was just one of a dozen different test runs.

I mainly wanted to show you that I was using the correct syntax. And also that it took 873 minutes before I killed it. So that's.. more than 14 hours that I let it run.

Surely, that's not normal?

[vitorgalvao]

it took 873 minutes

Oh, minutes. I misread that.
