Error while trying to perform a drag and drop operation from guest to host

Post by ProstoDen »

I'm getting the following error when I try to drag and drop a file from my Debian guest to the host:
Drag and drop operation from guest to host failed
Details:

DnD: Error: Requesting pending data from guest failed (VERR_TIMEOUT).
Result Code:
VBOX_E_DND_ERROR (0X80BB0011)
Component:
GuestDnDSourceWrap
Interface:
IGuestDnDSource {dedfb5d9-4c1b-edf7-fdf3-c1be6827dc28}
Callee:
IDnDSource {d23a9ca3-42da-c94b-8aec-21968e08355d}
My VirtualBox version is 7.0.14
My Debian version is 12.5 (debian-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso from the official debian website)

What I've already done:
- Set Bidirectional Drag'n'Drop in the general settings of my Debian virtual machine
- Inserted Guest Additions CD Image (from Devices tab in VirtualBox) and run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
- Rebooted my VM
