Re: Looking for help in configuring LilyDev in VirtualBox 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.
Try to start the client manually and see what happens: /usr/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard
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.
From time to time, this happens on my machine, too. I thought it would be a problem specific to my combination of VirtualBox version / host os and guest os, but if you encounter the same problem it could be a general issue.
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.
Yes, I would suggest that you start from scratch again. Best regards, Michael
