Modify `scripts/start-replay.sh` if you want to use other replay options. ## Run replay on system startup -If you are running a distro that uses systemd then you can use the systemd service in `extra/gpu-screen-recorder.service`. -Copy `extra/gpu-screen-recorder.service` to a location where systemd can find it, for example: `$HOME/.config/systemd/user` and then enable and start it with: `systemctl enable --now --user gpu-screen-recorder`. Copying the systemd service file is not needed if you installed GPU Screen Recorder from AUR as this is done automatically. -You can then use the `scripts/save-replay.sh` script to save a replay. The systemd service is configured with the file `$HOME/.config/gpu-screen-recorder.env` (create it if it doesn't exist). -You can see which variables that you can use by looking at the gpu-screen-recorder.service file.

To fix this, either disable suspend or tell the NVIDIA driver to preserve video memory on suspend/hibernate by using the `NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1` option. You can run `sudo extra/install_preserve_video_memory.sh` to automatically add that option to your system. |
