[Testing - Bookworm] spice-vdagent not working in kde (works in gnome)

#1 Post by mirto »

Hi all,
I have a Debian testing host with kde desktop and a kvm virtual machine with debian testing using kde or gnome sessions.

I have spice-vdagent and spice-vdagentd installed on both host and guest.

If I use a Plasma(X11) session on the guest the copy&paste function between host and guest don't work

But if I use a Gnome session on the guest the copy&paste functions works correctly

How can I enable the copy&paste function in the kde session?

P.S. host and guest were updated this evening and rebooted

Same problem on the official release of bookworm: just adding some more details if that can ring a bell to someone.

It looks like the spice-vdagent.service and spice-vdagentd.service fail to start but spice-vdagent.socket starts.

From the log, the spice-vdagentd.service error is: "Error getting active session: No data available"

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/18791

tl;dr: copy /etc/xdg/autostart/spice-vdagent.desktop to ~/.config/autostart/ then comment out the "X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase" line.
