Copy paste between Windows and LinuxCNC on Virtual Box [SOLVED] was created by xlordofpainx

So I am using a virtual box to run the iso image provided with Linux CNC. Normally you can copy and paste between these when you enable the Biderctional option in the Virtual box. But this is not working with the Linux CNC Iso. Is anyone else with this problem?

[SOLVED] by installing VB guest additions

Just tried - not working for me, using VM with MX21. Drag and drop doesn't work, neither does ctl-c, ctl-v for text.

Wonder if having shared folders turned on in VM causes a problem with copy-paste?
