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 !
