sudo pkill -fx "/usr/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard"
VBOX_RELEASE_LOG_DEST=file=/tmp/clipboard.log VBOX_RELEASE_LOG=+all.e.l.f VBoxClient -d --clipboard
Then post the
VBox.log file and the
/tmp/clipboard.log file, together with a description of your clipboard actions.
fth0: I am following up on your last post.
I captured the log files your requested, and thoroughly document all the steps.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Configuration:
1) VirtualBox: today I uninstalled my previous version and installed the latest 6.1.32 version:
--VirtualBox-6.1.32-149290-Win.exe
--Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.32.vbox-extpack
2) virtual machine:
outline of configuration done on a virgin one also created today:
--installed the latest Xubuntu from its ISO xubuntu-21.10-desktop-amd64.iso
--ran its Software Updater to install the latest Xubuntu code for 21.10
--to prepare for installing VirtualBox Guest Additions, first ran
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
--installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions by executing
sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
--with the virtual machine shut down, changed its Settings from Shared Clipboard: Disabled to Shared Clipboard: Bidirectional
--also enabled a shared folder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steps:
a) booted the Xubuntu virtual machine
b) in the 1st Terminal, started the clipboard logging commands that you requested.
--see the attached screenshot file 1_log commands_executed.png
c) in the 2nd Terminal, I tried to paste in these 2 commands after copying each one from TextPad running in my Windows 10 host OS:
lsmod | grep -i vbox
modinfo vboxguest
As I have detailed in this thread already, the first command successfully pastes from TextPad,
but the second command, when I try to paste it into this second Xubuntu Terminal, is incorrect: what gets pasted is the first not the second command. It is as if the clipboard did not get updated somehow.
--see the attached screenshot file 2_two_pastes_from_TextPad.png which shows this
d) in the 3rd Terminal, I tried to paste in these 2 commands after copying each one from Notepad++ running in my Windows 10 host OS:
lsmod | grep -i vbox
modinfo vboxguest
As I have detailed in this thread already, both commands successfully paste from Notepad++.
--see the attached screenshot file 3_two_pastes_from_NotePad++.png which shows this
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also attached are the clipboard.log and VBox.log files that you requested.
I so hope that you can spot the issue...
This bug never used to happen in VirtualBox.
UPDATE: nuts, this forum software is not letting me attach those 2 log files? Is there a limit of 3 attachments max per post? I will submit this post and try to attach the logs in a subsequent one...
