When I try to click the "Start Recording" button, I get an error popup that says:

The configured file output path is invalid. Please check your settings to confirm that a valid file path has been set.

In the File->Settings dialog, under the Output tab, I have "Recording Path" set to: /mnt/sda2/obs

I selected this path using the "Browse" dialog. If, I run `stat` on this path, I get:

Code:
  File: /mnt/sda2/obs

Therefore, I know the directory exists.

If I run `df -h`, I see that the drive where this directory is mounted has space available:

Code:
/dev/sda2                                    938G  621G  270G  70% /mnt/sda2
