<div dir="ltr">Yes, it's always been a 3D problem. 3D has always been problematic with the Mac version of VirtualBox. The screenshot problem for 3D has been going on for something like 3 years. 2D screenshots are fine.<br>

<div dir="ltr"><div>This has been a long standing problem with VirtualBox running on Mac hosts. For whatever reason screenshots on Linux guests running Compiz or Unity or Gnome3 or Cinnamon can not take screenshots. All one gets is an empty black screen. I've been told this is not an issue for the Windows or Linux versions of VB. As of today's 4.2.51 version it's still an issue. If it is one of the things being worked on currently of course ignore this message.<br>
<br></div>I would mention the current version of Debian 7 with Gnome 3 does actually work as far as screenshots go and I have no idea why.<br></div>

<div>Hi.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Ok, it seems the screen-shot issue is deeper than the used frame-buffer type.</div><div>Is it 3D related thing? I mean is the screenshot correct when you are getting it with 3D turned off for the same VM?</div>
<div><br></div><div>About error warnings in terminal, you can ignore these warnings for now.</div><div>They are related to new functionality which is not yet implemented from the GUI side.<br></div><br><div><div>-- </div>
