Bug Description
When installing Kubuntu 20.04 in a virtual machine, although it has the 6.1.6 version of Guest Additions, shared clipboard does not work.
It happens the same as it's described in [VBoxClient --clipboard terminates silently](https:/
$ VBoxClient -v --clipboard -f # Or `VBoxClient --clipboard -d`
Shared Clipboard: Starting X11 event thread
Shared Clipboard: Stopping X11 event thread ...
Shared Clipboard: X11 event thread terminated successfully
Error connecting to host service, rc=VERR_
Service terminated abnormally with VERR_NOT_
Running service failed: VERR_NOT_
Previously reported at <https:/
and <https:/
Although that bug was reported for the 6.1.2 version of Guest Additions, the 6.1.6 version in the virtual machine does not solve the bug. The effects are the same using:
- the `dkms`, `virtualbox-
- or `sudo ./VBoxLinuxAddi
- or `sudo ./VBoxLinuxAddi
Thank you!
