Video Capture not working
I have an Ubuntu host and VirtualBox 5. I cannot seem to get it to record videos. When I enable recording I get the little video icon spinning. However, when I check the view menu it still says "Video Capture" rather than "Recording." Nothing I've been able to do seems to produce a file of any sort.

Re: Video Capture not working
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe or recreate the problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Re: Video Capture not working
Sorry for being late on this...
Plus it's old, we're now in 6.0.14...
It looks like you're using the distro's fork version of VirtualBox. You can either ask in their forums/channels for help, or completely remove/uninstall/delete/purge their version and install the official version from the Linux Downloads section of VirtualBox. You can even add VirtualBox as a repository, so you could use your traditional install/upgrade/uninstall tools.VirtualBox VM 5.2.18_Ubuntu r123745 linux.amd64 (Mar 8 2019 18:20:35) release log
