Ubuntu 14.04.2 "Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, oris only available from another sourceE: Package 'ffmpeg' has no installation candidate"
Please check your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Maybe universe or multiverse is not enabled. After enabling the repositories, run "apt-get update" before you rety to install ffmpeg.
On ubuntu you want to use avconv, not ffmpeg.
How about Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R ? You're using Gnome in the screenshot, Gnome has screencasting built-in.
The point was not to describe something that concerns only GNOME users, but all Linux users instead.
There are also programs such as SimpleScreenRecorder.
