This is something i would like to know too

As far as I know, copy paste with SPICE only works in graphical mode, with a X session running. Before X is starded, while in the console, no copy/paste is possible.

However, with virt-manager, it is possible to copy paste directly in the serial console of a vm installed with "--no-graphics"

This is a feature of virt-manager I deeply miss if it's not possible to make it work with VNC/SPICE remote consoles.

What would be great is the possibility to connect directly to the serial console of the vm from ovirt-manager (I think that's what virt-manager is doing seamlessly when no graphic hw is configured for the vm).

The copy&paste, like drag&drop, those are features that rely on
spice-vdagent, not QXL.

I assume that spice-vdagent and spice-vdagentd are running
without errors in your CentOS 6 box? If that's the case, you can
share some logs from the client remote-viewer or virt-viewer
--debug --spice-debug.

Cheers,
Victor
