 |
|
I have a gentoo guest running inside KVM/qemu/virt-manager under a gentoo host. Everything works beautifully except copy-and-paste which only occasionally works. Even within the VM (not cross host<->guest) the copy-and-paste doesn't work. It seems to work the first time, but afterwards when I try to paste it doesn't work and also freezes xorg/terminals for 10 seconds.
I am constantly seeing these in my messages log:
| Code: | May 16 01:33:22 triton spice-vdagent[2231]: primary: received clipboard req while not owning guest clipboard
May 16 01:33:22 triton spice-vdagent[2231]: primary: received clipboard req while not owning guest clipboard

May 16 01:33:24 triton spice-vdagent[2231]: primary: selection requests pending on clipboard ownership change, clearing |
While these seem to be very clear error messages I could google, it comes back with nothing helpful. Maybe I've configured something incorrectly because otherwise I can't see how this isn't a common issue. spice-vdagent and qemu-guest-agent are both running on the guest. Their /etc/conf.d files have not been changed from their defaults (ie all comments). virtio uinput has been compiled in the kernel as a module and is loaded when I check lsmod.

I can confirm that this also messes with copy-and-paste on the host system as well.
I'm having problems selecting words/sections on the host. If I shut down the VM the problem goes away. |
