Mageia forum

Hi all,
yesterday i tryed to use kvm to manage some of my virtual machines and i also tryed spice as remote control instead vnc. Spice is great
i only need to install some packages in guest os and add a channel in virt-manager.

My problem now is how use clipboard (copy and paste). Seems that spice support it using spice-vdagentd in guest and host os. So i builded and installed on my Mga4 and in my guest os and spicy (spice gtk client) say my "agent:yes" so two agents should work but when i try to copy and past between 2 os, i have nothing.

Could you help me ?

thanks
Armando

Mageia 4 is the host OS, what is the guest OS?
In the guest, please show the output as root of

Code: Select all

service status spice-vdagent

You also need to add a serial device to the guest. Check e.g. http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/SPICE

Hi doktor5000,

i have Mga4 as host and CentOS 7 as guest. In guest i installed:
spice-gtk-tools-0.20-8.el7.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.4-5.el7.x86_64
spice-gtk3-0.20-8.el7.x86_64
spice-xpi-2.8-5.el7.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.20-8.el7.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.15.0-3.el7.centos.x86_64

spice-protocol-0.12.6-2.el7.noarch
spice-gtk-python-0.20-8.el7.x86_64

as you can see in status bar, spice client launched on host detect agent in guest


this is my virt-manager config


i checked also qemu command in /var/log/libvirt/qemu and it have correct parameters. I using cinnamon on host.

Finally i tryed another spice client:

Code: Select all

$ spicec -h localhost -p 5900

it work fine with copy and paste
