I have VirtualBox installed and shared-clipboard is enabled as bi-directional.

But it does not work at all.

How can I get it working?

  • First install virtual box guest addition by mounting the VirtualBoxguestAddition.iso file.It was actually resides inside c:/Program Files/oracle/virtualbox folder.

  • In Windows 8, guestadditions.iso file will be automatically mounted when you double click on that iso file.

  • After it got mounted, it automatically prompts you install guest additions in the host OS.

  • Then install the guest Additions in the guest OS(Ubuntu).

  • Because of you're running Ubuntu as guest OS, you have to run the below commands on terminal,

    $ killall VBoxClient
$ VBoxClient-all

  • Now you can be able to use shared clipboard option.
