[arch-general] vbox PUEL: copy/pate Arch host - Arch guest not working: VBoxclient-all started

[David C. Rankin]

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"

   Driver       "vboxvideo"

   SubSection "Display"
     Depth      24

   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.
