VirtualBox - Shared clipboard doesn't work with VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.4.iso

By xngo on April 14, 2020

I upgraded VBoxGuestAdditions to version 6.1.4 on my virtual machines and notice that shared clipboard doesn't work. It was working before the upgrade.

Solution

There is bug in VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.4.iso. For details, see bug at https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19336. I simply downgrade back to VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.2.iso.
