How to take screenshot on Ubuntu-guest (Virtualbox)

Solution 1:

Ok guys! I have found out the problem and the solution. :P

The problem is Compiz and the solution is to disable it using the command:

metacity --replace &

Now, I can take screenshot of any window inside the VirtualBox.

Solution 2:

VirtualBox provides a menu option to take screenshots of the guest, View --> Take Screenshot (Host+E). Alternatively, just Host + E (that's usually Right Ctrl + E).
