Daily Ubuntu Tips – Fix Black Screen In Ubuntu Guest With VirtualBox Screen Capture
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
VirtualBox is a software that allows users to run multiple guest operating systems on a single host computer. It’s supports Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and is maintained my Oracle.
|
||
|
||
We’ve written a lot on VirtualBox here. Do a quick search and you’ll see all the articles about VirtualBox.
|
||
|
||
Now, here’s the story: VirtualBox comes with a feature that allows users to quickly take or capture screen shots of active guest machine sessions. These screenshots can then be shared with the host machine using the clipboard.
|
||
|
||
The sad thing about it is, it won’t work if certain feature in Ubuntu guest machines is enabled. It had always been a pain until just recently when I stumbled upon the solution.
|
||
|
||
Without this solution, when you take a screenshot in Ubuntu guest machines, the image will be completely dark and not useful at all.
|
||
|
||
I dug solutions with no luck until just now.
|
||
|
||
To enable bidirectional clipboard with Ubuntu guest and the host machine, click on the Ubuntu guest machine and select **Settings**. Then navigate to **General –> Advanced Tab** and enable it.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Now, in theory, when you start the Ubuntu guest machine and press the **Print Screen** key or **Ctrl + Print Screen** keys, the guest machine should take a screenshot of its current desktop session.
|
||
|
||
You can then save it to the clipboard and access these images from the host machine.
|
||
|
||
But if you also enable **3D Acceleration** feature for Ubuntu guests, the images will be completely dark.
|
||
|
||
To fix that, you must disable 3D acceleration for Ubuntu guest machines.
|
||
|
||
To disable it, select the Ubuntu guest machine and click **Settings**. Then navigate to **Systems – Display –> Video** tab and disable 3D Acceleration.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Well, you must disable 3D for Ubuntu guests in order to get this to work. Now launch the guest machine and try taking a screen shot.
|
||
|
||
Hope this helps.
|
||
|
||
Enjoy!
