lectures recording software (like Panopto)

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi, 

I am asked to record my lectures using a tool called Panopto which
works on Windoze and has really been a frustrating experience. I would
like to know whether I have any options that would work on Linux. 

I run the Fedora 15 distribution, and all I would like to happen is
that the screen and my voice should be recorded. Unlike Panopto, I
would like to also know when there is a problem.

Any suggestions, please?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
