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?

Re: Fedora bidirectional copy&paste isnt working
Guest Additions weren't installed correctly:

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq
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.
The Guest Additions kernels weren't updated because the prerequisite kernel headers weren't updated.00:00:21.466722 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 6.0.0 r127566 '6.0.0'
