Shared Clipboard & Drag'n'Drop both set to Bidirectional, neither work.
Did you install VirtualBox extensions?
I use Ubuntu 20.04 in a VirtualBox VM on Windows7 and Windows10 host and copy/past or shared clipboard just work.I hope you did not install Qt as administrator on your Ubuntu VM?

It could be the macOS variant of Oracle VirtualBox. The user I'm using on Ubuntu is a standard user not super user.

Sorry, I never used macOS, can not really help you :(

@KroMignon, apart from the GUI, its Linux.

I have done nothing special:
- download the installer from Qt (was an older one 3.1.1)
- set execution bit:
chmod a+x qt-unified-linux-x64-3.1.1-online.run - launch installer:
./qt-unified-linux-x64-3.1.1-online.run - install required packages:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 zlib1g:i386 libncurses5:i386
that's it

@KroMignon , perhaps its an issue with the version of Qt I'm trying to use?

Maybe, I don't know, you could try to download an older one here => https://download.qt.io/archive/online_installers/3.2/

@artwaw , @jsulm , dam it, Virtualbox isn't new and still seems buggy as hell, Shared Clipboard & Drag'n'Drop both set to Bidirectional, neither work.
I've opened a terminal and typed in:
sy@sy-VirtualBox:~/.local/share/applications$ ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 3: fg: no job control ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 4: Creator: command not found ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 5: IDE: command not found ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 9: IDE: command not found ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 10: text/x-c++hdr: No such file or directory ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 10: text/x-xsrc: No such file or directory ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 10: application/x-designer: No such file or directory ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 10: application/vnd.qt.qmakeprofile: No such file or directory ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 10: application/vnd.qt.xml.resource: No such file or directory ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 10: text/x-qml: No such file or directory ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 10: text/x-qt.qml: No such file or directory ./org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 10: text/x-qt.qbs: No such file or directoryObviously from the list above there are prerequisites required that are not present. Is there a guide on how to get up and running? I was following an online guide by Qt, but I didn't think I had to manually go through the huge list of downloads?

I haven't done any of this download stuff, just looking at your output../org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not foundObviously from the list above there are prerequisites required that are not present.
I don't know why you think this is to do with missing prerequisites. It looks like that is being executed as a shell script file where something is wrong? Is it really supposed to be executable??

Hi
I had some issues with creator and newest ubuntu
and had to do
sudo apt-get install libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-xtest0-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xkb-devBut the error i got was "Failed to load platform plugin "xcb".
In the Qt install folder in tool/QtCreator there should be a
qtcreator.shcan you try that one ?
also try the actual binary in that folder and try to run .desktop as not sure it works from shell.
