Shared Clipboard = Bidirectional

Copy from Windows screen and attempt to paste in Ubuntu terminal window but Paste is disabled.

Have you installed the Guest Additions in your guest? If you have, and it still doesn't work, then please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
