[SOLVED] x11grab

[BETLOG]

I have a couple of old scripts that use x11grab to record the desktop via ffmpeg/avconv, but apparently x11grab doesn't exist any more.
sudo apt-cache search x11grab
sudo apt-cache pkgnames x11grab

...nothing

Looking for suggestions of best way to record the desktop, or options for re-adding x11grab.

You should have it as part of ffmpeg in Kubuntu 18.04.

From the man page:

               ffmpeg -f x11grab -video_size cif -framerate 25 -i :0.0 /tmp/out.mpg

$ apt policy ffmpeg
ffmpeg:
 Installed: 7:3.4.2-2
 Candidate: 7:3.4.2-2

My bad. i just realised ffmpeg wasn't installed at all.
Inconceivable!
