Fedora bidirectional copy&paste isnt working

[uidzero]

Hi, i have been trying since hours to get this function working,

this is what I already did:


1. Installed the extension pack on virtualbox
2. installed fedora & did a yum update
3. installed the guest additions via iso & autoinstall
4. activated bidirectional copy&paste
5. rebooted the guest & host many times

VBox.log in the attachments


Windows 11 host

Fedora Workstation guest vm

any ideas?

Guest Additions weren't installed correctly:

00:00:21.466722 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 6.0.0 r127566 '6.0.0'
00:00:23.092666 VMMDev: Guest Log: 13:15:12.850853 main Executable: /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-7.0.8/sbin/VBoxService

The Guest Additions kernels weren't updated because the prerequisite kernel headers weren't updated.

Uninstall GAs, run the prerequisites, then reinstall GAs. The log showing the two lines above on the same version 7.0.8 will indicate successful GAs install.
