How does Ubuntu automatically switch between the mouse and the shared clipboard under VirtualBox?

  

Many users find that it is not convenient to install Ubuntu through VirtualBox. For example, you need to use right CTRL when switching between XP and Ubuntu, and there is no way to copy and paste between XP and Ubuntu. So, how to automatically switch between the mouse and the shared clipboard under VirtualBox?

VirtualBox provides enhancements that can be used to solve this problem. As follows:

1, & rdquo; device & ldquo; - & rdquo; after installation Enhancements & ldquo ;, restart Ubuntu

2, appears at the desktop VBOXADDITIONS_3.1.8 _61349 disc-like icon

3, CTRL + ALT + T to open the terminal, at the terminal input:

cd /media /VBOXADDITIONS_3.1.8_61349

Then type:

. /autorun.sh

4, wait for completion of the installation

5, after the installation is completed, restart VirtualBox. Full screen mode or seamless mode is available under the control menu to switch between full screen, seamless and normal mode. You can also double-click on the menu bar to treat it as a normal window under XP. At this time, automatic mouse detection is supported, and the clipboard can also be multiplexed between the virtual machine and the host.

The above is the way Ubuntu automatically switches the mouse and the shared clipboard under VirtualBox. Users who encounter the same problem can refer to the method described above to solve it.
