I'm working on a VM that I've recently updated to the 14.04LTS.
Although the Guest additions are installed, the support for both clipboard and drag and drop is set to bidirectional, when my mouse over the VM I can't see the cursor nor I can't copy and paste in both directions as expected.
I'm using the server edition without any GUI installed.
Any idea?
The VirtualBox guest additions provide clipboard integration between the host and a X11 GUI running in the guest. They don't provide clipboard integration with a Linux console guest (there is a feature request for this, but it's understandably very low priority, because very few people use that feature).
If you want a comfortable interface inside the guest, install a GUI, for a negligible added cost in disk space. Use a lighter GUI than Gnome/Unity if you want to save RAM.
If you want a comfortable command line interface to the guest, use SSH in a terminal emulator of your choice running in the host. Use the console inside the guest only when you've screwed up the firewall.
