Could you please check if the virtual box modules are loaded with lsmod | grep vbox Which VirtualBox version do you use? What is you host OS? lsmod gives: vboxguest 294912 0 There should be some more kernel modules running. Please try reinstalling the guest additions at first with: sudo apt install --reinstall virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-guest-utils That didn't work: got a message: E: Command line option 'r' [from -reinstall] is not understood in combination with the other options. Seems you accidentally omitted one dash (should be --reinstall, not -reinstall) Oops - the problems of not being able to do cut-and-paste between machines. On my terminal the two '-'s merged into one. That command produced a load of output. Maybe I should have redirected it to a file. Then reboot your virtual machine. If that does not work, please post the output of ps aux | grep '/usr/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard' This time after the reboot I got the same result. No sharing of clipboard, no more processes. Tried closing VBox and restarting it, but same result. There's one slight oddity: often (but not always) when booting the LilyDev guest I get an error message - a bit too long to copy the text so here's a screenshot: I don't know if it's significant. It doesn't change the clipboard behaviour. Without rebooting (there didn't seem much point) I got: dev 701 0.0 0.0 11108 932 pts/0 S+ 11:10 0:00 grep /usr/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard which I guess is the process that I just ran. so that we can see if the shared clipboard service is running Best regards, Michael All the best, Peter It's possible that my hamfisted attempts to install LilyDev as a guest without all the instructions has screwed something up. I could start again tomorrow using the instructions you sent me and see if it makes any difference. Best regards, Peter
