Steps to take Screenshots from Samsung Galaxy s Android Phone in Ubuntu

1. Download Android SDK for Linux Version here

2. Extract the downloaded compressed folder into a handy location.
Ex: >tar -zxvf /android-sdk_r09-linux_x86.tgz

3. Navigate to the "tools" folder where the SDK has been extracted
Ex: > cd /home/jackson/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools

4. Start Dalvik Debug Monitor Service
> Type ./ddms in a console under tools folder and press enter
> you should see a window like the image - screenshot-1.png


5. Now, on your Samsung Galaxy Phone,
Goto Applications->Settings->Applications->Development and enable USB debugging

6. Connect your phone to your Ubuntu Machine now and you should see
that DDMS has recognized your phone in its window.

There you go.!!!
