Hiii @sanavh08
Open your bolt course in virtual box google crome
or mail the code yourself and open the gmail in virtual box
than copy the code using control + c
Try Ctrl+Shift+C to copy and Ctrl+Shift+V to paste in Ubuntu terminal.
Hope this information is useful for you :+1:

Any other alternatives

Solved it myself by creating a shared folder.Thank you

@sanavh08 can you please elaborate as to how you have done it? If possible kindly share the screenshots.

Hello,
I had the same issue. To solve this problem, I had taken the following steps:

Open VirtualBox, Settings, General, advanced, make shared clipboard and drag and drop Bidirectional.
Go to storage, in controller IDE Optical drive select choose/create virtual optic disk and add virtual box guest additions from programfiles->Oracle->VirtualBox->VBoxGuestAdditions
Start ubuntu, on left side of Desktop, click on CD symbol, then open terminal
Type sudo -/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run, enter password.

And Done, now copy paste should work
