Hey all, I'm on a Windows 8 host with 2 guests including CentOS and Debian. The shared clipboard isn't working on either guest. I have Bidirectonal set, which has worked in the past for other Linux distros (including CentOS and Debian).
Now even installing the guest additions on each guest doesn't help.
Does anyone know why it's still not working?

Re: Shared Clipboard not working
Moving to Windows as host since this is more than likely where your issues resides.
Re: Shared Clipboard not working
Ok thanks. I figured Linux would be better since I'm using Linux guests. Thanks again.

Re: Shared Clipboard not working
I just checked my Debian guest and the shared clipboard is working on a Mac host. Make sure the guest additions are properly installed. Just a reminder, the shared clipboard only works with plain text and image clippings. You cannot copy and paste files.

There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

I reinstalled it just in case. Still not working.
