Guys,
I have setup Arch in virtualbox to provide a clean environment for the trinity
build. Xorg+fluxbox for the environment. One problem I'm having is copy/paste
between the host and guest does not work. I have the LinuxAdditions installed
and shared folders (mounted uid,gid), X, flux, and copy/paste within the guest
works fine, but I can't get it to copy/paste from host-to-guest or
guest-to-host. xorg.conf is:
22:18 alchemy:~> cat cnf/vbox/linux-guest/xorg.conf
# VirtualBox generated configuration file
# based on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "vboxmouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/vboxguest"
Option "CorePointer" "yes"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor[0]"
ModelName "VirtualBox Virtual Output"
VendorName "Oracle Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Device"
BoardName "VirtualBox Graphics"
Driver "vboxvideo"
Identifier "Device[0]"

Section "Screen"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x800"
EndSubSection
Device "Device[0]"
Identifier "Screen[0]"
Monitor "Monitor[0]"
EndSection
~/.xinitrc is:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/VBoxClient-all &
startfluxbox
No display manager installed. I've been through
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and updated a few areas, but I
still couldn't find the trick for making host/guest copy/paste work. Anybody
know a way to get this working.
