I have installed a new Dell Laptop battery in my DELL Chromebook 11 3180 model

Here's a tip for buying a battery.

The manufacturer (DELL) will select a battery to fit in several models to help factory production.
In my case the battery will fit in several other models.
For instance I saw from ...

Just a word that Blender 4.4 has just been released and I had time
last night to test it in Bookwormpup. It worked fast and well.

txt2svg worked in fatdog64 903.

Interesting that I could get nearly same results with a few lines of code.

Not sure what you mean to say exactly,

I was referring to this page which recommends 'monitor' source when recording an application

Once user @vovchik created and posted txt2svg, a brilliant GUI frontend for creating SVG labels.

I didn't know about this work. Looks good!! However I wrote my script to generate the button while launching the script.
I find it doesn't slow down the launch to generate the buttons in the first ...

I believe that
alsa_output.pci-0000_00_0e.0.analog-stereo.monitor

would be useful for recording the music heard in the background of a game
or perhaps the soundtrack of a DVD

But I think that people use it to record a voice track to video

I compiled and installed a new version of ffmpeg and now it records with the command

ffmpeg -f pulse <etc>

I like Pulse....PulseAudio finds audio devices in a nicer way :thumbup2:

I was successful compiling ffmpeg 5.1.6 with libpulse support.
More recent versions of ffmpeg won't compile.
I made a package for fatdog64 903

GTK2 - color,font,icon

Gtkdialog (and gtk2dialog) if it is compiled for GTK2 can change some features like
background color

I wrote a script to test

On the other hand, it seems the companion comboboxtext widget will upscale and downscale correctly with both GTK2 and GTK3 versions of gtkdialog.

I want to use the comboboxentry widget so I can edit the length of a recording.
comboboxtext widget doesn't allow this so I won't use it ...

Thanks for info

Probably has to do with your ffmpeg installed.
I have ffmpeg version 5.1.6-0+deb12u1 running on Debian and works ok with -f pulse, (probably because compiled with --enable-libpulse :?: )

Sounds like the reason. I'll check.

don570

Are you asking for help to record with pulse, or just making a comment?

I'm explaining what works and what doesn't.
