Shared Clipboard not working as expected

Fedora 34 KDE Plasma spin
kernel 5.13.13-200
guest additions 6.1.26
  • Wayland: copy and paste - not working at all, screen resize - screen resolution not changed
    X11: bidirectional copy and paste - working, screen resize - screen resolution is adjusted automatically
Shared folders are working with both.

I have an Oracle Linux 8.3 Gnome with kernel 5.4.17-2102 and guest additions 6.1.18.
Here everything is working as expected on Wayland and X11.
I have just installed oracle linux 8.4 with uek kernel 5.4.17-2102 and guest additions 6.1.26. I have mounted the guest additions iso, run ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run . It have failed and said that:
no kernel headers. I have installed kernel-devel, kernel-uek-devel, kernel-headers, but have failed again without luck. Can u share ur kernel headers with me?

I'm afraid not. The kernel headers are part of Linux, not VirtualBox, and need to be correct for your version of the Linux kernel. You just need to use your package manager to (a) find out what kernel version you're on and then (b) download and install the headers for that kernel.
