The program opens correctly and the UI works fine, but when I start the timer to record, it counts down to zero and then closes the program. The terminal doesn't display anything more, and stays open as if the program were still running. Googled the problem, didn't see anyone with the same issue. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 21.04 Hippo and everything else seems to be working normally, at least as far as I've seen thus far. Any pointers would be helpful.

UPDATE: I now realize I explained this wrong. The window closes as I described and the record button goes up on the top of dashboard, red light on. However, when I click "finish recording" it saves to the Videos folder in the correct format, and the video is just black. It plays but there's nothing in it. I've looked through all the settings and it should be capturing the whole screen.

I see you have a problem with this application not with the OS.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
