Clipboard problem at Kali Linux in VirtualBox (using MacBook pro)

[hackuza]

Hello, community!

I just installed Kali Linux on VirtualBox, and immediately problems with truncated functionality have started. Starting with the fact that I can’t use the clipboard between the Mac and VirtualBox. I know that in the settings I need to make Drag & Drop and Shared Clipboard bidirectional. Also, I know that it is necessary to install guestadditions. Here is how I installed:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers - $ (uname -r)
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11

Unfortunately, after the steps above, I still cannot use sharedclipboard. But I can use drag & drop.

If someone has encountered a similar problem, would like to ask for help to solve?

P.S. I heard that in this version there is a bug specifically with sharedclipboard. If anyone knows how to do downgrade of guestadditions to particular version, please write.

Have a nice day, everyone!

Please provide a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in the GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

I am having the same problem except my drag and drop doesn't work either. Please advise!

I am NOT on the latest Virtual Box. I had to downgrade to an older version as with the latest version none of the VMs would launch.
