I understand that this issue was raised in a thread on 11 Feb 2019, titled "i cant copy paste and dont have a mini tool bar". I am sorry for not being able to post the direct link here as this account has just been created.
I am experiencing the same issue; Here is a snippet from my VM's VBox.log (I have also attached it in a zip file to this post):
I understand that in the other thread's case, his Guest Additions was older than his VirtualBox installation. I have observed in my case that it is the opposite case(?)00:00:01.759231 VirtualBox VM 6.0.14 r133895 win.amd64 (Oct 10 2019 19:44:31) release log
00:00:11.266233 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 6.1.0 r135406 '6.1.0_Debian'
I had just ran apt-get upgrade and apt-get update this morning (and the copy-and-paste feature was still working fine previously), before the 2-way clipboard stopped working. Afterwards, I ran a series of these commands as well (found from a Kali forum post which many claimed worked out for them), but to no avail:
Runningapt-get purge virtualbox-guest-x11 apt-get autoremove --purge reboot apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade reboot apt-get update apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-x11 reboot
Code: Select all
lsb_release -a
Really appreciate any help - thank you so much for your patience.
