Subject: virtualbox-guest-x11: VBoxClient --clipboard terminates silently

Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 14:49:43 +0100

Package: virtualbox-guest-x11
Version: 6.1.0-dfsg-3
Severity: normal

After latest update VBoxClient --clipboard process isn't no more running, so
clipboard service does not work.
While --seamless --draganddrop --display processes are running.

$ VBoxClient --clipboard in a terminal terminates immediately with no error.

Strace of VBoxClient --clipboard: it seems not to find libXfixes.so

Best, Luca.

I started seeing this too at around the same time. VBoxClient outputs
the following:

    $ VBoxClient -v --clipboard -f 
    Shared Clipboard: Starting X11 event thread
    Shared Clipboard: Stopping X11 event thread ...
    Shared Clipboard: X11 event thread terminated successfully
    Error connecting to host service, rc=VERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
    Service terminated abnormally with VERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
    Running service failed: VERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED

There is a forum post with the same symptoms, but it has not yet recieved
