VirtualBox & mouse issue

Trying to create XO from source but can’t get the mouse clipboard to work in the VB debian terminal. Settings are bidirectional but not working. No copy and paste. The VB extension pack is installed. Don’t feel like typing that much and I’m out of ideas. Windows 10 Intel cpu

I use SSH with my VirtualBox instance.

You could type the commands out by hand. Yes I still do this when needed.

Do you have XCP running? If so you can simply import an XO vm directly, then build a linux VM and go through the process of building XO from sources. That said, having an XO on an external computer is worth doing.

Alternate to VBox, you could install a debian WSL and build it in WSL. Not sure if it would run faster or better, but that might be a choice.
