https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D255208 --- Comment #20 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to bourne.identity@hotmail.com from comment #18) > The shared clipboard simply does not work. I am using VMSVGA as the graph= ics > controller, and my host's VirtualBox complains of Invalid Settings if I t= ry to=20 > switch to VBoxSVGA. This is two separate things. First about the "invalid settings" The "invalid settings" error is a generic one, the graphics setting we are talking aboutsetting is not actually invalid, and the advice can be ignored= I don't know why virtualbox has such a scary warning about this, because, if = you install additions inside the virtual machine, the correct driver ALWAYS IS VBoxSVGA, for any OS. SO if both your guests have additions 6.1. installed please disregard the "invalid settings warning" and just use VBoxSVGA, this has anyway advantage= s. About the validity of the issue when using VMSVGA, I'm not stating or imply= ing that your issue is invalid, and that there is no bug. Unluckily, when I not= iced this issue (crash with vboxvfs) I had a suspect of what the cause could be = and where to look at. Regarding the clipboard issue I really have no clue, and = the fact that I have zero Xorg programming experience does not help. Starting w= ith no clue like this even if I started looking at this it would take time. So, if you want a functional VM fast (as in here and now) you can just use VBoxSVGA, install additions in the guest (clipboard would not work without additions anyway) and you will get all the functionality, without any issue. The warning for this setting IS bogus. If you really don't want to use VBoxSVGA (or even test it) your only option will be waiting for someone to find a fix, or fixing it yourself. > Should I file another PR for this ? In general replying to closed bug reports is a problem, not for any ideolog= ical issue, but because comments have an high chance to not be noticed. So in general it's better to file a new issue than piggy backing an existing one. Anyway for the virtualbox guest clipboard there is already an issue opened = at bug #254266 so this discussion should be held there. > Please note my vm is dual-boot Linux+FreeBSD.

As stated above this makes no difference, linux guests with additions work perfect with VBoxSVGA. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
