Shared Clipboard fixed

Update! shared buffer with no lag:
0) Update VirtualBox to the latest version, 7.2.18

  1. Launch Workstation from sysmaint (don’t forget to enable Share Clipboard/DnDrop)

  2. In the (SMP) menu click:

Run Repository Wizard
Yes. Automatically install updates from the derivative
Whonix Developers Repository

  1. In SMP select Check for Updates

  2. In SMP select Install Updates

  3. Check the client version → VBoxClient --version (should be 7.2.18)

  4. In the terminal, do the following:

/usr/lib/systemd/user/vboxclient-wayland.service

Change the ExecStart line to the following:
VBoxClient --clipboard --session-type wayland --foreground

(In the new version, they removed the --wayland parameter entirely, so you need to modify the service for it to work in user mode)

  1. Reboot!
