Unable to copy/paste on Linux Mint guest

Post by pclin »

Dear all,

I am unable to copy/paste from my Windows 7 (64 bits) host to Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon (64 bits) guest.
The Virtualbox version is 4.2.0. The Guest Additions have certainly been installed on the guest. Everything
looks fine but the copy/paste function. Please suggest a way to solve this problem. Thanks.

Have you enabled it? (see VBoxManage modifyvm --draganddrop) It probably defaults to disabled.

Or perhaps enable a shared folder and copy files to/from there instead.
