By default, the virtualbox modules for those virtualbox features are not loaded/enabled, therefore the features simply do not work if selected in the Guest.
|
||||||
|
If you want that this features to work properly automatically, without starting the corresponding VBoxClient yourself, you can use xdg to autostart VBoxClient enabling the features.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/usr/bin/VBoxClient-all:
|
||||||
|
``` bash
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/sh
