I've now worked out how to mount the CD, and I followed the instructions in the VirtualBox FAQ page to install the missing bits. But when I try to install the Guest Additions it says they're already installed. has the LilyDev distro changed to include the Guest Additions? Because, if so, I can't get the shared clipboard to work, and that's rather necessary for my setup. Hi Peter, I did answer almost immediately: Am 18.01.2020 um 13:40 schrieb Peter Toye: I'm slowly working my way through CG Section 2.1, but have reached an impasse.

The VBoxGuestAdditions.iso CD is in the virtual drive, but it seems but there's no autorun, and clicking on it merely asks if I want to eject it. It looks as if there's a step missing, as the CD doesn't seem to be mounted in the file system, which would explain everything. But I'm not sure (as a Linux newbie) where to look for it. You won't need that. The guest additions have been incorporated into LilyDev. My patch for the CG will reflect this change. If you have problems resizing the VM window to full size, try to change the Display->Graphics controller to VBoxVGA in VirtualBox settings. You can activate clipboard sharing in General->Advanced->Bidirectional. So it seems you did not receive my response? I did only reply to the list, but you should have received it, anyway. No, I didn't receive it. And it's not in my junk mailbox either, so it must have disappeared entirely. That's a nuisance. Clipboard was already activated as bidirectional. But it's not working. I copied text from Lilydev but there was nothing in the host (Windows) clipboard. I copied text from the host, and the Lilydev clipboard had what I just copied from Lilydev. So it seems that the clipboards aren't integrating. Or am I doing something wrong? As it seems that you are keeping the CG up to date there's no point in my trying to help. We'll just get in each other's way. Cheers, Michael All the best, Peter
