How can I record sound from Linux?

Question

I have Linux (ubuntu). And I would like to record a sound. Does anybody know how to do it? I tried to use "Sound Recorder" program which I found in "Sound & Video" menu. First I press "Record". In several seconds I press "Stop". After that the whole window becomes dark and program does not respond. Does anybody know why it happens and how this problem can be solved?

Solution 1

You could try install Audacity.

Solution 2

Use gnome-sound-recorder.

To install it with apt, type

$ sudo apt install gnome-sound-recorder

Solution 3

If Sound Recorder does not work, maybe install Audacity and try to record from that?
