Using VirtualBox under Windows11 as host and installing Ubuntu20 as guest operating system, I realized the copy/paste although set up as BiDiretional between the host and the guest, was not working.
I fixed this using the foloowing commands in the terminal of the guest OS Ubuntu20 :
sudo apt update sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-generic sudo apt install build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r) sudo apt install virtualbox-guest-x11 sudo VBoxClient --clipboard
Enjoy !
