All, I'd like to be able to use the cut n paste function between a host machine a VM. Here's what I've tried and found so far.
Host is a F15-64 bit system with virt-preview repo enabled and everything fully updated. First VM is F16-64bit-beta-rc3 with everything fully updated. Cut and paste works perfectly between that VM and the host. All I had to do was to install spice-vdagent and viola, it worked! Second VM is WinXP-SP3 with the qxl video driver, the virtio-serial driver, and the vdagent all installed within the VM. All these were downloaded from the spice-space.org website and are the latest versions on the download page. Examining the WinXP device manager and the admin console to check services, it appears to me that all 3 drivers are correctly loaded. Certainly sound works and the video is quite good quality so I'm sure that major portions of everything are indeed working correctly. This WinXP VM will not cut n paste at all. I've struggled to find the issue and the only clues I have are as follows: In the log file /var/log/libvirt/qemu/winxp.log, I see the following 3 lines when I attempt to copy a bit of text from within Wordpad in the VM: main_channel_release_pipe_item: SPICE_MSG_MAIN_AGENT_DATA 0x3d2dea0 0x3d2d040, 0 main_channel_release_pipe_item: SPICE_MSG_MAIN_AGENT_DATA 0x3d2dea0 0x3d26cc0, 0 dispatch_vdi_port_data: invalid port I also did 'virt-manager --debug' to see if I could see any relevant messages there and I see the following: (virt-manager:2574): GSpice-CRITICAL **: agent_clipboard_request: assertion `c->agent_connected' failed followed by (virt-manager:2574): GSpice-WARNING **: clipboard get timed out Which then seem to report every time to you try to copy something from within the VM. The above log messages look wrong to me, so I wanted to report them to see if there's something obvious. What's next? Should I file this as a bug and if so where? -- Thanks!
