bq phone screenshot not working

[Merlijn Sebrechts]

The screenshot tools doesn't seem to be working on the bq ubuntu phone. I ran the command, it said the following and then did nothing for a very long time untill I killed it...

phablet-screenshot screenshot.png
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

I have Ubuntu version 12.04 and me too I'm not able to take screen shots....
If I start adb server phablet-screenshot command will trace "E: Device '' is not supported."

~$ sudo adb start-server
~$ phablet-screenshot test.png
E: Device '' is not supported.

With debug option....

~$ phablet-screenshot -d test.png
