Proposed as a Blocker for 43-final by Fedora user lnie using the blocker tracking app because: seems affects: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_43_Final_Release_Criteria#Default_application_functionality, and it's really inconvenient @victor Likely resolved when doing a release, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/linux/vd_agent/-/issues/43 The issue doesn't reproduce here using f43 cinnamon host copying to f43 cinnamon guest and vice versa Leigh: the particular issue here is to do with GNOME 49 dropping autostart support, I think. Discussed at the 2025-09-15 (blocker / freeze exception) review meeting: This bug does not meet the blocker criteria, but it is very annoying and would be good to ensure it is fixed on the Final Workstation live if possible. Therefore, it has been accepted as a FreezeException. It has been present in KDE for a long time and is not blocking in that environment. https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org//blocker-review_matrix_fedoraproject-org/2025-09-15/f43-blocker-review.2025-09-15-16.00.txt Heads up for folks inconvenienced by this: to work around it, just run `systemctl --user start spice-vdagent` as regular user (NOT root). It should immediately start working. *** Bug 2393436 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (I'm just needinfo?ing everybody with commit access to this package.)
