I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my desktop: $ uname -a * Linux AMDC727 3.13.0-52-generic #86-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 4 04:32:59 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux And on Linux I have Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager 4.3.28 Running FreeBSD 10.1 as virtual machine. $ uname -a * FreeBSD fb64.vm 10.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0 r274401: Tue Nov 11 21:02:49 UTC 2014 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 I have installed virtualbox-ose-additions and added proper configuration to the rc.conf file. Mouse and graphic integration is working OK, only clipboard is broken. To get logs I have killed precess "VBoxClient --clipboard" and restarted it as: VBOX_RELEASE_LOG_DEST=file=/tmp/clipboard.log VBOX_RELEASE_LOG=+all.e.l.f VBoxClient -d --clipboard to get the logs: $ cat /tmp/clipboard.log vboxClipboardConnect: Initializing X11 clipboard backend ClipStartX11: Shared clipboard: starting shared clipboard thread vboxClipboardConnect: g_ctx.client=63 rc=VINF_SUCCESS vboxClipboardMain: Starting guest clipboard service void clipQueryX11CBFormats(CLIPBACKEND *): requesting the targets that the X11 clipboard offers clipConvertX11Targets: pValue=00000008044120f0, *pcLen=12, *atomType=4 clipUpdateX11Targets: called ClipReportX11Formats: u32Formats=1 ClipReportX11Formats: rc=VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED void clipQueryX11CBFormats(CLIPBACKEND *): requesting the targets that the X11 clipboard offers clipConvertX11Targets: pValue=00000008044120f0, *pcLen=12, *atomType=4 clipUpdateX11Targets: called ClipReportX11Formats: u32Formats=1 ClipReportX11Formats: rc=VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED void clipQueryX11CBFormats(CLIPBACKEND *): requesting the targets that the X11 clipboard offers clipConvertX11Targets: pValue=000000080441d0b0, *pcLen=8, *atomType=4 clipUpdateX11Targets: called ClipReportX11Formats: u32Formats=1 ClipReportX11Formats: rc=VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED I don't know what is wrong.

Make a file name it e.g. clipstart put in killall VBoxClient VBoxClient-all make it executable and run it after start of the DE. (Works for me).

(In reply to nevar from comment #0) Nevar, please: 1. in the guest 2. pkg upgrade virtualbox-ose-additions 3. stop 4. set the guest to use VBoxSVGA 5. _ignore_ the warning – do _not_ set it to VMSVGA 6. start the guest. Is the issue reproducible?
Close (feedback timeout)?
@Reporter Please re-open this issue if the symptoms are still reproducible using the latest versions available in ports or packages, with additional information, thank you.
