Hi;

unable to copy&paste between VirtualBox Windows7 host and Fedora23
VirtualBox guest

1. I have the VirtualBox Guest Additions installed on the Fedora 23
VirtualBox Guest;
2. I have bidirectional copy and paste enabled in VirtualBox for the
Fedora 23 VirtualBox Guest;
3. copy&paste does not work either way;

I have a Debian Jessie VirtualBox Guest on this same VirtualBox
WIndows 7 host where bidirectional copy&paste works just fine.

I have already requested assistance on the VirtualBox mailing list.

The first tip was to verify that copy&paste was actually enabled by
running VBoxManage:

cd /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox

./VBoxManage.exe showvminfo trombone | grep 'Drag and drop'
Drag and drop Mode: Bidirectional

./VBoxManage.exe showvminfo bassoon | grep 'Drag and drop'
Drag and drop Mode: Bidirectional

[trombone is Debian Jessie and bassoon is Fedora 23]

The second tip was to to look at https://goo.gl/6PtJtE which I'm still
trying to grok.

Does anyone have any additional tips?

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
