Hi, Thanks for the bug-report. I've tried to reproduce this but failed. Can you please answer the following questions to help me try to reproduce this? : 1) What desktop environment and terminal application are you using on the host ? 2) What desktop environment are you running inside the guest ? 3) Are you running any special software such as a clipboard manager on the host ? 4) Are you running any special software such as a clipboard manager inside the guest ? Regards, Hans 1) What desktop environment and terminal application are you using on the host ? Host runs Fedora 18 with Gnome desktop. 2) What desktop environment are you running inside the guest ? The guest desktops are usually xfce4 and though there are some guest with gnome, kde, etc. Since xfce is used mostly, it is the one I noticed having the problem ... I run tail -f /var/log/messages in one terminal window. And, the system is Fedora 18 also. 3) Are you running any special software such as a clipboard manager on the host ? Nothing that I specifically did. 4) Are you running any special software such as a clipboard manager inside the guest ? Not that I know of ... whatever xfce does. I've again tried to reproduce this, and again I failed. This time I used xfce in the guest and gnome3 on the client side. You're original problem report contains the following reproduction instructions: "Do a ctrl-shift-c in a host terminal window ... then do ctrl-shift-v" 2 questions: 1) Are the ctrl-shift-c and ctrl-shift-v in the same terminal window, or is the copy in a terminal in the client, and the paste in a terminal on the guest ? 2) What terminal emulator are you using on the client side, and which one on the guest side ? Also what is your locale / LANG / AC_ALL set to? Are you perhaps not using an UTF-8 locale ? I am sorry for not responding with the info you need. I will try but do not promise I can get any. It has been some time since this happened and I have worked around the problem. I also have an additional constraint that I have to complete all my existing/outstanding efforts in the next 5 weeks because at that time my current Internet capabilities will be shutting down for at least three months. I will try but no guarantees. Closing due to lack of response from the reporter. Note this sounds a bit like a report received upstream in the mailing list, which was caused by running autoculsel (an old, buggy clipboard autosync tool) inside the guest. As a result of this some of the messages in question have been turned into debug messages since we cannot go and fix all broken X11 clients in existence. |
Created attachment 705671 [details] some messages from /var/log/messages Description of problem: Running f18 virtual guest on f18 host using qemu-kvm/libvirt/virt-manager, etc. Suddenly there is a "flurry: or "error" messages in the virtual's syslog from spice-vdagent. The messages seem to relate to the clipboard and copy/paste. Attached are some "typical" messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 18, spice-vdagent 0.12.1-1 How reproducible: Pretty easy ... run one or more virtual guests with qxl display and spice (not vnc). Run tail -f /var/log/messages in the virtual. Do a ctrl-shift-c in a host terminal window ... then do ctrl-shift-v a few of those should give you some message to look at.
