Expected behaviour

When "options / automatic clipboard sharing" is checked, it should be possible to copy on the host and paste into the guest.

Actual behaviour

Unable to get any sort of clipboard sharing in either direction.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  • quickget fedora 39 KDE
  • quickemu --vm fedora-39-KDE.conf
  • Install Fedora with default settings in guest.
  • Reboot, apply system update in guest. Install spice-vdagent (dnf install spice-vdagent) in guest. Shutdown.
  • quickemu --vm fedora-39-KDE.conf --display spice in host.
  • Tried in both Wayland and X11 environments in the guest. Only tried in a Wayland host environment, so it's possible that's where the issue lies.

Quickemu output

Run quickemu or quickget and paste the output here.

I've added a section to the wiki which describe how to enable clipboard sharing and includes details for NixOS.
