shared clipboard with ubuntu 13.10

Post by alain.roger »

Hi,

i have a weird behavior with VB having as guest Ubuntu 13.10.
My host OS is windows 7 x64, i allowed bi-directional shared clipboard and even with this setting, i can't paste the content of a Windows 7 text file, into an Ubuntu text file.

is there anything i do wrong ?
my version of VB is the latest one.

thx for help.

Have you installed the Guest Additions in Ubuntu?

yes i did, as i have a huge screen resolution (2560 x 1440), but in fact to solve my problem i had to do reinstall guest addition x11 as suggested on http://www.liberiangeek.net/2013/03/ins ... -machines/

i don't understand why as it was already installed... :(
