Public bug reported:
Note that, in my experience, this bug *only* affect Kubuntu 22.10 and
Ubuntu Studio 22.10, however Ubuntu Studio specifically does not support
VMs, and I assume that fixing the problem in Kubuntu will fix the
problem in Ubuntu Studio too.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install GNOME Boxes on an Ubuntu machine.
2. Install Kubuntu 22.10 into a GNOME Boxes virtual machine.
3. Maximize the GNOME Boxes window.
4. Boot the newly installed system.
Expected result: The VM resolution should change itself to fit the
window perfectly.
Actual result: The VM resolution remains at some default resolution
(1024x768?).
Additional details: Shared clipboard also does not work (the clipboard
of the host and the guest remain separate), and file drag-n-drop from
host to guest does not work (no files are transferred into the guest).
All of these features work out of the box on all flavors of Ubuntu 22.04
(Kubuntu and Ubuntu Studio included), and on all flavors of Ubuntu 22.10
except for Kubuntu and Ubuntu Studio.
Also, I do not remember having tested file drag-n-drop or shared
clipboard on Ubuntu Studio, but I have tested both on Kubuntu.
I believe this is the result of spice-vdagent either failing to start,
dying shortly after starting, or glitching and remaining active but not
actually doing anything its supposed to. If I stop all services related
to spice-vdagent (spice-vdagentd.socket, spice-vdagentd, and spice
vdagent, note the "d" at the end of the first two), ensure that all
spice-vdagent and spice-vdagentd processes are terminated by using
killall, and then run "sudo spice-vdagentd -x" in a terminal, then I am
able to set the VM screen resolution to match the window perfectly.
Shared clipboard and file drag-n-drop still don't work, though.
