Copy paste between Windows and LinuxCNC on Virtual Box [SOLVED]

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

Moved to "computers and OS's"

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?

Hey. We fixed it. First of all you have to install guest additions after doing that you can copy paste and resize and stuff. Now In my case I was not able to resize:

Here is a list of all tutorials on the topic. It was kinda hard getting the guest additions to work on the Debian Linux CNC iso:

Eitherway I am not using VB anymore as i cant connect to my mesa card when using virtual box. Cheers
