Hi @a7med12h - thanks for reporting this problem! This error usually occurs when something has gone wrong with either device detection or mapping. I've taken a look and found a way where sometimes the way vrecord maps an input device can have some issues - I'll get a quick fix done and that should resolve this issue.

Hi @a7med12h, a new version of Vrecord has just been released that might help clear up this issue - try updating vrecord and hopefully this will sort itself out!

Please copy and paste the full command and its response rather than taking a screen shot.

@a7med12h - it looks like something isn't working correctly on your system with compiling FFmpeg with Alsa support - do you have libasound2-dev installed?

[a7med12h]

@privatezero no I did not. is it mandatory! if yes I will try to download it . how I can install libasound-dev?

[retokromer]

The following two commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

should do the trick.

@retokromer @privatezero last question, I have big issue, I use linux system Ubunto, and when ever I close Terminal I loss all packages and I have to download again all packages and vrecord . and also when I do reboot for PC . is it normal ? how I can save all packages So when ever I reboot or restart terminal all things not loss

[retokromer]

@a7med12h No, this is not normal at all. How and where did you install which Ubuntu version? Have you installed Ubuntu onto a HDD or SSD? Only then it will save changes.

[privatezero]

@a7med12h - seconding @retokromer's comment that that is not normal. Are you still running Ubuntu in its trial mode from a USB stick?

[a7med12h]

@retokromer @privatezero I run ubunto as normal. I installed it form usb stick and then I remove it. I run system on SSD. I do not know why this is happened. Application there but only packages that will be not exist any more .

[retokromer]

@a7med12h I presume that the Ubuntu installation is not correct on your end. On our end dozens of work stations are currently running under Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS on SSD (as well as Windows 11 with Terminal and Ubuntu 23.04 at clients’) and we never ever encountered the problem you described. Did you change any system parameter after installing Ubuntu? Did you try to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch following the official instructions?

[a7med12h]

@retokromer I have never change any parameter or option in system

[a7med12h]

@retokromer still after updaating have this error `vrecord Starting the vrecord GUI. To bypass the GUI, run like 'vrecord FILENAME'.

[retokromer]

Unknown input format: 'alsa'

It’s still the same error, which means that libasound2-dev is missing. See: https://github.com/amiaopensource/vrecord/issues/753#issuecomment-1678791040

[a7med12h]

@retokromer I update it . I wrote same command u sent it to me . I really do not know why this happened

[a7med12h]

how I can know if my Ubunto had installed right ?

[retokromer]

What is the output of brew config?

[a7med12h]

@retokromer this is output for command

[retokromer]

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (jammy)

You are using the same OS version we successfully used in production until very recently (we have upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS just a few days ago). I cannot reproduce your issue and I don’t know why on your end it is not working fine. Can you save onto the SSD now? For example the libasound2-dev?

[a7med12h]

to be honest , I am not familiar to linux. So, I did not understand how I can save this in SSD

[retokromer]

If your Ubuntu installation is correct, the commands I gave you will correctly install the missing libasound2-dev that vrecord needs.
