Hi,
I struggled with this for several days and tried everything, but nothing
seems to work. I cannot successfully set shared clipboard between host
and guest machines when both run Wayland desktop.
My current setup:
Host machine: Debian 12.9
Desktop environment: KDE Plasma on default Wayland and SDDM
Installed packages related to KVM: qemu-system, libvirt-daemon-system,
virt-manager
Guest machine: Debian 12.9
Desktop environment: KDE Plasma on default Wayland and SDDM
During guest installation qemu-guest-agent package has been
automatically installed.
After such fresh installation shared clipboard does not work between
host and guest.
So I cannot copy some text to clipboard on host machine and paste it on
guest machine.
Then I applied the following procedure to have shared clipboard working
between host(wayland) and guest(X11):
1. On guest machine installed spice-vdagent package
2. On guest machine edit file /etc/xdg/autostart/spice-vdagent.desktop
and comment-out the line with "X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=WindowManager"
3. Finally restart guest machine and login to X11 desktop session
Shared clipboard does not work when guest is on Wayland session while it
works fine when guest is on X11 session.
It seems spice-vdagent supports X11 only...
Are there any other solutions I can try to make it working with both
machines on Wayland sessions?
Best regards,
Rafal
