virtualbox.org

Hi,

I run an Ubuntu with a minimal gui (xorg and openbox) as a guest on a Windows 7 host, and I'd
like to copy/past in both direction host <--> guest, but it doesn't work.
I've installed the Guest Addition: then, in Virtualbox, I've set the Shared Clipboard option to bidirectional.

But, when I attempt to copy/paste some text from Ubuntu/Gvim to Windows/Notepad (or the opposite), it doesn't
work.

Can someone help me ?

Virtualbox version: 4.3.0


Thanks

Ok, I found the answer.

It turned out that the VBoxClient service was not launched at the openbox start.
So I've just edited the /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart file and added the following line: Now it does work.

Hope it helps
