In virtualbox make sure your clipboard is set up bidirectional. Reboot everything. Reboot the world to be safe.

Add this to bashrc:

In your bashrc file (~/.bashrc) add this:

VBoxClient –clipboard

Restart clipboard when it gets wonky

If the clpboard stops working, do this:

ps -ef | grep VBoxClient | grep clip kill -9 [the PIDs] VBoxClient –clipboard
