After my last update, kernel v6 was installed. I started getting this notification pop-up after logging in:
VBoxClient: Vgb1R3InitUser failed: VERR_ACCESS_DENIED
While the screen auto-resize still works, the shared clipboard does not. I then tried to reboot into the previous v5.19 kernel - it now is also experiencing this error. None of my other VMs are doing this, including both Fedora Rawhide (on kernel v6.1) and Debian Sid. All systems are running VirtualBox v6.1.38.
Attached is the last VBox.log.

Re: Shared clipboard stopped working on openSUSE Tumbleweed
The opensuse-tw-2022-10-10-12-27-14.log file indicates that you're using Linux kernel 5.19 on the host, but Linux kernel 6.0 in the guest, and VBoxClient runs in the guest OS.
Generally speaking, the problem can be on the host, in the guest, and of course inside VirtualBox. In the end, it's the collaboration of all three sides.

Re: Shared clipboard stopped working on openSUSE Tumbleweed
I should have been clearer that the kernel upgrade was on the guest, not the host. I run many VMs with testing repos enabled, so I'm seeing the v6 kernel branch start to pop up more. That being said, this problem is only affecting openSUSE Tumbleweed. I believe that this is mostly an openSUSE issue, as I had similar problems with the shared clipboard with VMware before switching to VB; no pop-up messages, but inconsistent clipboard access.
Remember, this is also happening on the original 5.19 kernel as well.

Re: Shared clipboard stopped working on openSUSE Tumbleweed
The error message probably means that the VBoxClient cannot open /dev/vboxuser, so I'd suggest to check or compare the owner, group and access rights of /dev/vboxuser. If you provide ls -l /dev/vbox*, I'll have a look.

Re: Shared clipboard stopped working on openSUSE Tumbleweed
I checked one of my Arch-based systems, and the permissions were 666 on both of the /dev/vbox* devices. I tried setting that on the offending VM, but again the permissions were reset.

Re: Shared clipboard stopped working on openSUSE Tumbleweed
I posted a thread on openSUSE's forums as this seems like their problem: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. ... ost3165541
@fth0 - thanks for the help.
