Hi,
I am running a Centos 7 vm under FreeBSD, and it works very well now, with KDE installed from DVD iso.
But there's a couple of things missing, which happens only with Centos vm (Virtualbox):
- Despite clipboard sharing enabled, copy-paste just does not work
between host and guest
- Mouse integration does not work. So I have to repeatedly capture
mouse manually both in the host and in the guest.
If anyone could provide me tips how to tweak the above, it shall help me a lot.
Hello, do you have VBox guest additions installed in your Centos VM ?

Hi Wojtek,
Thanks for replying.
Yes, I figured that was the issue:
yum update yum install dkms yum groupinstall "Development Tools" yum install kernel-devel
I then mounted the VB Guest Additions iso, ran VB's Linux script (as root) and now upon reboot clipboard integrates very nicely.
The mouse integration is simple - does not even need VB GA - just change the mouse type in VB settings from PS/2 to USB tablet.
Now everything works very nicely indeed.
