Bug description:
  Binary package hint: recordmydesktop

  Ubuntu should implement the same updates from Fedora, since the
  recordmydesktop package itself on SourceForge seems to have been
  abandoned.  Here are the two related SourceForge bugs regarding
  libtheora:

  Impossible to record screencast with new libtheora

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2888673&group_id=172357&atid=861428

  Stops updating when switching virtual terminals in Lucid

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2999144&group_id=172357&atid=861428

  
  Here is the Fedora fix

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525155

  
  A workaround for people not comfortable with compiling from source is to revert back to the Karmic libtheora file:

  
  1. Type this in a terminal - "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and Add the following lines:

  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted
  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic universe
  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic multiverse

  2. Open Synaptic and reload the files.

  3. Do a search for libtheora, highlight the package "libtheora-bin"
  and select Package -> Force Version -> Karmic. Do the same for package
  "libtheora0" and hit Apply.
