Description

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as an exception or blocker. It has been moved to RHEL 6.2 since it is a FutureFeature request. I just pushed a patch set to upstream git fixing this. How do we test this? try a paste that is large enough. If you use xsel, it does INCR if the paste is larger then 4000 bytes iirc, so doing something like: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=100 | xsel -b and then pasting in the guest, should do the trick (-b is to use the CLIPBOARD selection which we use instead of the default). What client/guest combinations are affected by this change? (In reply to comment #7) > What client/guest combinations are affected by this change? Any client together with a Linux guest with the Linux agent. The example / instructions Alon gave to reproduce would be done from an x-terminal running on the same desktop as the client and thus requires the use of the Linux client. This is fixed in the just build spice-vdagent-0.8.1-1.el6, moving to modified. Hello what exactly means "more like multiple megabytes": I was able to copy&paste /usr/share/dict/linux.words (4.8M) between client and guest, but when I tried to copy 4times more data, nothing happened and Bug 723154 occurred. Not sure If I can mark bug as verified based on previous experience.

Hi, Note this bug is about copying data from the client machine (ie from gedit running next to the client on the client machine), to an app (for example again gedit) inside the guest. Reading bug 723154, you are trying it to do in the other direction (from guest to client), which is unsupported with the old client, and likely will stay unsupported (see bug 690161). Although the result which you got is unexpected, rather then a backtrace I would expect an Xerror, followed by an abort by the client. Regards, Hans Verified on spice-vdagent-0.8.1-1.el6 Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
