From a security pov copy and paste between the guest and the client is not always desirable. So we need to be able to enable/disable this. The best place to do this from an administration pov is on the hypervisor, and thus in the spice-server.
This is implemented by these 2 upstream commits: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/commit/?id=c2db6d1066bcb73c5ddf9e38c4ef30545706eae9 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/commit/?id=bcf9a60aa97419e12dc83916719e3633bfbb872f Which are also present on the 0.8 branch, moving to post.
How is this being implemented? Will there be an option for qemu-kvm? If so, what would that be and how do we use it? If this is already documented somewhere just point me to that.
Hi, (In reply to comment #3) > How is this being implemented? Will there be an option for qemu-kvm? Yes > If so, what would that be and how do we use it? It will be an additional option to the -spice cmdline option, called "disable-copy-paste" So if for example you normally pass the following spice options: qemu -spice port=5932,disable-ticketing You would use the following to disable copy paste: qemu -spice port=5932,disable-ticketing,disable-copy-paste Also see bug 693645.
