I tried everything I found on internet to copy something from my computer and paste in virtual machine or inversely.

I couldn't get it to work, with web console or SMICE.



Is it working? Is there a tutorial some here?



Thanks

Do you mean spice?

A bit more infos would be nice, for example, what OS is running in the guest? Did you install the necessary drivers and agents/services? This is especially important for Spice.

If you need some VDI setup, you could also consider setting up remote desktops within the VM. With Windows guests for example, RDP.
 
Yes I mean SPICE

I have installed the necessary drivers on both side.

VM : Windows server 2022
My computer : Windows 11 pro

I know that it works with RDP but I want to use a console
 
If you check the services within the Windows VM, do you see the "Spice Agent" service running?

Can you share the config of the VM? qm config {VMID}
Ideally within [code][/code] tags, or use the code formt options of the editor.
 
no I don't see it.
I Have installed "spice-guest-tools 0.141" but i don't see any service named "Spice Agent"

I have reinstalled from "virtio-win-0.1.266.iso"

now i have service spice-agent
but it is "stopped", and when I start it, it stop automatically

Are there some logs somewhere? (no useful information in windows events)

I did a try with a windows10 virtual machine and it works :)

how can I do with my server 2022 now?
 
I just had to install a fresh Windows 2022 server (english) and installed everything from the 266 virtio ISO by running the virtio-win-guest-tools. After that I switched the display of the VM to Spice and after a clean reboot the new display setting gets applied and I can connect with the Spice remote viewer to the VM. Copy&Paste as well as the automatic resolution change to the windows size works for me.

Maybe check if you have the latest virtio ISO and do a re-install/repair?

I did a try :
- uninstall guest-tools
- reboot
- install guest tools
- reboot

It works now :)
Thanks for your answer
 
Now I did a test with windows server 2025.

same issue : service spice-agent stop by itself

I try repair, uninstall, reinstall, but it doesn't work

Is it supposed to be compatible or will it be developed?
