How to install simplescreenrecorder on old version of Debian?

Hi All,

My Maho 400E is still running an old version of Debian, with XFCE, that would have been the live CD back in about 2019. For my videos, I need to install simplescreenrecorder, as pointing a camera at the screen is lame.

I have tried:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder
sudo apt update
This fails with "unable to locate simplescreenrecorder."

Please help with this. I seem to forget all linux knowledge the instant whatever I was trying to do gets done
Cheers,
Mark

 

No idea, but you can always use OBS-Studio
sudo apt install obs-studio

I could but that is a pretty huge overhead on a old pc. 

Well you could try upgrading to Trixie which has linuxcnc 2.95 and simplescreen recorder as standards. 2.97 is included in testing so you can use APT pinning to get 2.9.7 

packages.debian.org/search?keywords=simp...e=trixie§ion=all

I am sticking with LCNC 2.7, as it will be a risk to update to 2.9, given the switch to joints, and the gearbox comp I have working. 

I really just want simpescreenrecorder. I use this on both my lathes. I just have little clue of how to get the repository working.

I also tried this method, but it also failed.

 

Hi,

maybe a silly idea. but you could install Teamviewer and record the screen on your Cutter-PC.

i use Teamviewer all the time on my machines and i cant note any lag.
