Questions about cutting & pasting in VirtualBox/Ubuntu?

comcastuser · 09-09-2010, 06:47 PM

I can cut and paste from a Windows VM but I can't do this in an Ubuntu VM. Also I can't do ctrl-C or other ctrl-based things in an Ubuntu VM.

Is there a setting I'm supposed to tend to in order to make this possible? I already have "Shared Clipboard" as "bidirectional".

Thanks!

I never do it but isn't there a add on or additions for that to enable cut and paste and other features like that?

If there is, I have never heard of it. There are add-ons for VirtualBox besides the "Guest Additions"?

Oh and I forgot to add, I'm using VirtualBox OSE...
