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.

~/.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.
Cannot you just display everything on the host X server by setting DISPLAY to the appropriate value? Jerome -- mailto:jeberger@free.fr http://jeberger.free.fr Jabber: jeberger@jabber.fr
