<div dir="auto">Thanx to you all for suggesting these many alternatives. I tried and most of them worked. The simplest among them I found , was installing vboxguest-addition, which provide couple of good easy options to share data between host and guest vm and ofcourse enhanced vm interface.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards, </div><div dir="auto">Shivam. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, May 9, 2021, 5:27 PM Vipul Gupta <<a href="mailto:vipulgupta2048@gmail.com">vipulgupta2048@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hey Shivam, <br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>Your question is about VirtualBox and Linux in general, not Sugar.<br> The article below shows some of the complexity of what you are asking<br> about.<br> <a href="https://superuser.com/questions/1318231/why-doesnt-clipboard-sharing-work-with-ubuntu-18-04-lts-inside-virtualbox-5-1-2" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://superuser.com/questions/1318231/why-doesnt-clipboard-sharing-work-with-ubuntu-18-04-lts-inside-virtualbox-5-1-2</a></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Was reading through the email list, and saw this. James is indeed correct, it seems more about VB and Linux with clipboard sharing being definitely a problem some folks face when working with VB. It didn't work the last time I tried it with VB + Ubuntu Server. I instead jumped on to having Shared folders between my host and virtual system using VB's shared folders guest additions approach. Not sure how much this helps you, but I documented how it worked out for me.
