[vbox-dev] Clipboard "receiver" program stuck when sometimes

[Michael Thayer]

Hello Aaron,

You might want to enable clipboard logging on the host - set 
VBOX_RELEASE_LOG=+clipboard.e.l.f in the environment when you run the 
virtual machine and you should see lots of additional lines in the 
machine log file.

Regards,

Michael
