And could you try starting VirtualBox from the command line as follows:. Just to confirm with you on the previous issue I had with clipboard syncing from Ubuntu Jaunty host to a XP SP3 guest; this is now working fine in Virtualbox 3. Bidirectional now works cleanly and immediately and exactly as advertised on two separate installations on Ubuntu Jaunty using an XP SP3 guest VM and Ditto registers the clipboard update from Ubuntu to XP with no issues.

Description This bug is very similar to bug Attachments VBox. Linux 32bit guests could not shared clipboard to Host and other guests. Change History Changed 13 years ago by shreks attachment VBox. But XP guest not stable, just work for a moment. Once it happens, it can only be fix as I mentioned.
Does this sound the slightest bit feasible? I do have the latest VBox additions installed. Normally Virtual Box tells me to install the host tools on a new installation, but for some reason it didn't when I installed in recently.

Hi, i made some progress, the script can be used from Computer Client like Win10, and he dont need to import Active Directory modules, also dont need to enter config.
Brandon Lee wrote a new post, Redirect user profile folders documents, pictures, etc. For a long time, roaming profiles and folder redirection were the standard means under Windows for making user files available on different devices. Now that more and more users work on the road or at home rather than in the office, this technique is becoming increasingly obsolete.
An alternative to such environments is to redirect profile folders to OneDrive. Paolo Maffezzoli posted an update 17 hours, 42 minutes ago. Paolo Maffezzoli posted an update 17 hours, 43 minutes ago. A reboot of the guest will bring it back. Logfile included. Additional Info.
The guest can for the most part copy to the host, but not the other way around. Then after a while longer it simply gives up and does not copy to either. This is seamless mode as well but taking it out of seamless mode does not change the way it behaves. Silly question, but you did update the Additions on the guest, didn't you? Assuming you did, could you please try stopping the clipboard service on the guest and restarting it as your logged on user as follows:.
That should create a log of clipboard activity, seen from the guest's point of view. Once you have reproduced the issue, you can stop the service again and upload the log, with a brief explation. Well you got me. I do have 3. I saw that the VBoxClient --Clipboard service was started as stated in the command.
It pastes the same info that was copied and pasted to the host It did not flush the clipboard on the last copy from the guest to the host. I can not find a file that contains the information anywhere. The file should be called VBox. I assume that you are using bash, so that the environment variables on the command line get passed to the programme.
And when you said that "the service had in fact stopped", do you mean that the VBoxClient application had crashed? Standard Ubuntu terminal logged in as myself. No file is created in the home folder period called anything. The VBox app does not crash. I can once I start the VBoxClient --clipboard , copy and paste once from the guest and then the second copy from the guest stays in the cue. I can kill the service and start it again and it will copy Once and the second copy hangs in the cue.
The local clipboards do not seem to be affected. I tested copy and paste within each and they work as expected. The only one that fails is the VBoxClient --clipboard. I saw the 3. Re-ran the test and same thing. VBoxClient --clipboard fails and no file created. You know I just have this bad feeling that no matter what I do this is going to be an on-going problem with this OS. It is the same one that was fixed with version 3.
If there was a way to actually remove the guest additions and then install clean I believe this might work, but it appears that there is some artifact that was left behind that crops up every so often. I have tested on several other OSes and they simply don't have this problem. Do you have a way that I can actually remove them? If not I will just bite the bullet and re-create the OS all over although I would really not like to.
I understand that from you end this is not going to be easy to troubleshoot since for some reason I can not supply you with the information that you need. So Let me know and I will either try to remove or install a new copy. I finally disabled the bidirectional clipboard in the GUI and booted the guest. Then shut down and enabled it again.
I had checked the machine. I know this OS has been running for a while and gone through a lot of GA updates, but it never occured to me that something like this could happen since the xml showed it enabled. Strange huh? By the way the logfile never was able to be created. I copied and pasted it in the guest so I don't know what to tell you about that. Everything worked as I think it was supposed to but no file. I have the same problem but with Linux host and Windows XP guest. Right now, for example, cut and paste from guest to host works, but not the other way around.
I have VB 3. I do not know how to fiddle with GA setting, given that a mouse click on the icon in the system tray or double click, or right click does nothing. Have you any advise? I can copy and paste to the host from the guest with no problems. If I copy from the host the first time before I copy from the guest I can paste once to the guest. It is as if the bidirectional part is stuck.
I have tried every combination I can think of to get your command to work and it does not create a log anywhere that I can find. As I said the update from 3. OK started a different version of Ubuntu. This one is Karmic 9. Bidirectional functionality is not there. One way is. Guest to host works. The command that you sent me works the same way as well. No logfile. I see exactly the same than Perry g with Linux Host and Windows guest. I think that someone that can should change host to Any and guest to any in this ticket.
It seems a unix-windows problem, no matter which is guest and which is host. I did some more testing today and it is definitely tied to time. A clean boot of the Host and of course the guest, will allow it to work for hours random, depends on activity I think. Then it simply hangs in the clipboard buffer. Guest Copy is all that pastes. I started a Debian 5 guest did not shut down the Ubuntu guest after the paste messed up and it works while the Ubuntu still could not.
While both were running the Ubuntu one would not work, but the Debian 5 one would. If I leave the Debian 5 one running in time it fails as well. Ticket has been marked a duplicate of this one. If I start it via the GUI, it will sometimes work for 5 minutes and sometimes as many as 5 hours before it fails.
This should really make it difficult to run down, but I will send more data as it becomes available. Still the command that you sent does start the clipboard as nodaemon, but no file is generated.
Wish I knew why that is. I would like to see what the clipboard had to say about this as well. I have tested the clipboard function on Ubuntu host 64 bit with both windows and Linux guest and I can not make it fail. I do not see any adverse reactions while running this way. It appears that everything is happy. Let me know what else I can do to help find this. I am able to work with the temporary solution so I will await your word.
Shame on me. I investigated why the logging was not working, and it turned out that I gave you the wrong syntax, and that the correct syntax to create a log file called VBoxClient. Sure thing. I thought I was going crazy! Give me a bit to shut down and restart and we will see what I can come up with. Michael, Well I started the guest with the command and it did create a log file there is only one problem.
I can not make it fail now, and on top of that we had a version upgrade today. So it may be a while until I can send you any report. Hopefully I can report back that it appears to be fixed, but i will let you know. OK It finally messed up and right after the upgrade. I can copy and paste to the guest from the guest. I can copy from the guest to the host. I can not copy from the host to the guest. Additionally, If I do not reboot the host the shared Clipboard fails a lot sooner.
Rebooting the Host will give me from hours to days before it finally fails. Is there some way I can monitor this from the Host side? What ever is in the guest buffer stays in the guest buffer as far as pasting. It looks like there are 2 separate buffers instead of 1 when the problem occurs. Now I can start the host and the guest fresh and have not problems at first. If however I start something like rhythmbox and listen to last fm for say 30 minutes, then the problem occurs within the 30 minute window.
However it does not seem to effect things while working on the Host. Stopped all drag-to-disk services plus anything that could mess with the clipboard but they did not change this behavior. The only thing that I have not done was uninstall MS Visual Studio really don't want to do that unless I must It is a real hassle to install and get back up to date. I do not think you need to uninstall anything. I have the same problem, guest and host interchanged, and never got even near to Visual Studio.
Do you have any Windows guests on the system where you see the problem, and if so, do they ever suffer from this? Perryg, when "host to guest" stops working, please close the VM window to save the VM state and then start the VM again. Will "host to guest" work after such a restart?
I tried it with my case, which is reversed host is linux, guest is windows, what stops working is copy in guest and pasting in host. No change, if I save the VM state and start again, the problem continues. Thank you for the suggestion however I had already tried to regress the GA's. Problem still existed. I will monitor the WinXP guest today and let you know. Only other thing that I can think of to do is regress the VBox program and see if that will solve the problem. Thank you for your suggestion.
Unfortunately this does not solve the problem. This allows the guest to function properly but here again this is just a moment in time. As soon as I start using it to do various tasks it too fails again.
Perryg, it was a test. Do I understand it right that restarting the VM process as suggested allows you to copy from host to guest? In that case there could be some application on your host which interferes with host clipboard viewers, which monitor clipboard changes VBox VM process is one of them.
Restarting the VM process allows it to reregister as a clipboard viewer. If you have an XP installation, you could try another test. Start the VM, after that start clipbrd. Reproduce the problem. Then check whether clipbrd. That is try to paste some text and check whether clipbrd.
If clipbrd. If it gets new changes then the problem is elsewhere. I am not inclined to install the XP clipboard in Vista but I do have a clipboard viewer that can see these events being copied correctly on the host side, but it does not transfer to the guest side. So, I downgraded VirtualBox from verison 6. Next I did as suggested above : sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms VBoxClient --clipboard. This also did not work, I have rebooted and all that, enabled bidirectional - clipboard, drag-n-drop, etc.
Not only cut-n-paste does not work, I cant even scroll my mouse pointer above the prompt - so essentially makes the VM useless. You would expect something like this to work by default, but unfortunately not, even after all the hoops. I just upgraded my VirtualBox to 6. Yes, I installed the Additions both on the host and on my Ubuntu guest. Therefore, I'm pretty sure that this is Oracle's bug, and that we'll be seeing a hot-fix coming out from them in a few days.
I did not get any response here and could not figure it out - tried many options same problem with VMPlayer also. But the good news, at least from cut-n-paste perspective, use an alternative client. This actually is a better solution - no need to muck with mouse capture and all that. Ubuntu Community Ask! Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
