copy-paste in a console without X server
Hi all, Is there a way for copy and paste in a spice console which runs a minimal OS (e.g. without loaded qlx driver)? It can be very useful when no ssh access is possible when network is down.

You need a spice agent in the guest OS to perform the copy-and-paste. IIRC I filed a RFE for text-only paste-only functionality when the agent is not connected but we don't have it yet. David

spice-vdagentd is already running but there is no difference with before. I restarted the vm with the "enable past and copy clipboard" property and with the "enable virtio-console" but it does nothing more. Everything is ok with a X11 desktop environment, but are you sure it is doable without GUI/X11 environnment? Le 18/02/2015 11:01, David Jaša a écrit :

Nathanaël, if you are looking for a host-side copy&paste functinality in console, the gpm daemon might help. But I assume you would like to have a shared clipboard between the host and the client. For that you will probably need X (and a guest agent). Regards, Ondra On 18.2.2015 09:22, Nathanaël Blanchet wrote:
