It's hard to say with the level of details you have here. If you're using the spice protocol and you have the guest agent (spice-vdagent) installed inside the VM then you'll be able to cut and paste in graphical consoles. > _______________________________________________ > libvirt-users mailing list > <a href="mailto:libvirt-users@redhat.com" target="_blank">libvirt-users@redhat.com</a> > <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users</a> </pre> </blockquote> Oops, I apologize. I am using virt-install as follows to create the virtual machines and I am connecting to the virtual machines from a different physical machine using virt-manager or virt-viewer via SSH. I thought this combination was sharing the clipboard when everything was on Fedora 18, but since upgrading to Fedora 19 the clipboard does not seem to be shared. virt-install \ --autostart \ --channel unix,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/guest.agent,mode=bind,target_type=virtio,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0 \ --connect qemu:///system \ --disk vol=Guests/$domain \ --extra-args "inst.ks=file:/$(basename $kickstart)" \ --graphics spice \ --initrd-inject $kickstart \ --location http://192.168.$subnet.10/repos/fedora$releasever/iso \ --name $domain \ --network network=Subnet$subnet \ --noautoconsole \ --os-type linux \ --os-variant fedora18 \ --ram 2048 \ --vcpus 2 Here is the XML definition of the virtual machine: <domain type='kvm' id='6'> <name>Desktop</name> <uuid>bc868fd8-62a3-a05c-f62a-3983e72c1aa6</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>2097152</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>2097152</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-1.2'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/Guests/Desktop'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ide0-1-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0'> <alias name='usb0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <alias name='ide0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci0'/> </controller> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:cf:a2:22'/> <source network='Subnet1'/> <target dev='vnet1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/2'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/2'> <source path='/dev/pts/2'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/guest.agent'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <channel type='spicevmc'> <target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/> <alias name='channel1'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='2'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <alias name='input0'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='spice' port='5901' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'> <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' heads='1'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux' relabel='yes'> <label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c665,c969</label> <imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c665,c969</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain> </blockquote> </div></body></html>
