Patch adding spice disable-copy-paste option
Mark qa_ack+ Talked to Hans via irc If you want to test it via qemu-kvm, please add options disable-copy-paste and newer spice-server -spice port=5932,disable-ticketing,disable-copy-paste Tested on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6, there's no "disable-copy-paste" spice option. Boot with "disable-copy-paste" spice option, QEMU prompts: qemu-kvm: -spice port=5930,disable-ticketing,disable-copy-paste: Invalid parameter 'disable-copy-paste' parse error: port=5930,disable-ticketing,disable-copy-paste Verified passed on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.184.el6. 1. Boot RHEL6.2&win7 guest with the following command: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.2.0 -cpu cpu64-rhel6,+x2apic -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -name RHEL6.2-64 -uuid 2b379603-6f73-497c-bbdc-d3dc948248e8 -monitor stdio -rtc base=localtime -boot c -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -drive file=/home/win7-32-virtio.qcow2,if=none,id=ide-drive-0,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=ide-drive-0,id=ide0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=00:1a:4a:10:84:09,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel1,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,chardev=charchannel1,id=channel1,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -usb -spice port=5930,disable-ticketing,disable-copy-paste -k en-us -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 2. Install qxl driver, spice vdagent, and virtio-serial (win) driver inside guest. 3.Copy-paste some string between external host and guest, failed. Can not copy-paste. 4.Shutdown guest, boot guest again while removing "disable-copy-paste" option. 5.Copy-paste some string between external host and guest, succeed. The content is well copied and pasted. So, this issue is verified pass.
