@JoshStrobl I removed the notify-send call patch because it prevent the copy/paste functionality between the host/guest to work. Do you agree with this ?

Do you agree with this ?

No, I already stated to you previously that this is not something I agree with. See https://dev.getsol.us/R3133:45746453b12ab15f9881b2f2fbcde213f58fff32#50619

Honestly, I'm regretting adding VirtualBox Guests to the ISO for the amount of trouble this is causing. I'm yanking it from the pre-installed packages for Solus 4.1. Until there's a better solution to the notification issue, I want to keep the patch included. Everybody will see notifications even if they're not using VirtualBox, all because of the guest bits.

Sorry I missed your answer. I was pretty sure you wouldn't agree, that's why I did explicitly tag you.
I have no clue why this patch prevents the shared clipboard to work, I don't understand at all what could be the relationship between notifications and the shared clipboard but it breaks it and I always have to remove it and make a rebuild for myself since this is a feature I use a lot.

I also deeply regret the problem caused by virtualbox on the ISO, I didn't think for a second it would be installed. I just wanted to add it on the to help the users who boot Solus on a vbox machine and tbf, this has very little added value now sine the VMSVGA graphic controller is defaulted for Linux hosts it doesn't automatically resize anymore.
