There's a surprising number of clipboard fixes already landed upstream and waiting to be released in mutter 3.36.2 -- we should probably wait and see if they help. Most of them don't have associated bug reports :/
Also, in case you haven't already please try both 'Ubuntu' and 'Ubuntu on Wayland'. In case one works better than the other. It looks like some upstream fixes are specific to one or the other. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872527 Title: Clipboard doesn't work 100% of the time in Ubuntu 20.04 (in KVM guests) Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in virt-manager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm testing Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) Beta. I installed Kubuntu 20.04 and virt-manager as I did many times on Ubuntu 18.04. Unfortunatelly when I run a VM (QEMU-KVM, libvirt, libspice-server1 and spice-vdagent) with another Kubuntu 20.04 guest or with Ubuntu 20.04 guest then clipboard doesn't work right. To test it, please install Kubuntu 20.04 and then install Kubuntu / Ubuntu 20.04 as VM (guest). Open some simple text editor and start Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V plain text. 90% of time it will work and 10% of time it won't.
