How to copy paste from Ubuntu VirtualBox guest to Windows host?

Misha Moroshko

I'm running VirtualBox 4.1.4 on a Windows 7 laptop with an Ubuntu 11.10 guest.

I want to copy text from Ubuntu terminal and paste it into a file on Windows host. For some reason this doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Start your VM, then install the Virtualbox Guest Addition
You can find this option under "Devices" in Virtual Box 4.2, or you can follow the instructions in " How to Install Guest Additions in a VirtualBox VM" .
