Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked vbox at FreeBSD.org for
maintainer-feedback:
Bug 246330: emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions - shared clipboard does not work
because VBoxClient is invoked from wrong location
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246330



--- Description ---
Hi,

I am running FreeBSD 11.3 in a VirtualBox guest with shared clipboard set to
bidirectional. But the the shared clipboard did not work.

I found the reason for this - the shell script /usr/local/bin/VBoxClient-all
tries to invoke VBoxClient from /usr/bin (instead of /usr/local/bin) at line
38:

</code
  /usr/bin/VBoxClient --vmsvga-x11  # In case VMSVGA emulation is enabled
/code>

Of course, there is no /usr/bin/VBoxClient

Regards,
Manish Jain
