Copy/Paste to VM

[tdukes]

I setup Proxmox a few hours ago. I can't seem to get copy and paste to a VM working. The spice-vgagent package was already installed in the Debian 13 VM. It could be the settings in Hardware>Display, IDK. I have Display as Default and Clipboard set to VNC. This would be very helpful installing packages I need rather than typing them out.

Also, how can I adjust the font size. It's really har to see what I'm typing in the VM console.

TIA

Hi tdukes,

For SPICE, if you select your VM, then select Hardware, Display, then Edit, please try these settings [0]:


If you are using this VM via CLI, you can also try xterm.js. You can select this by clicking the Shell dropdown, then clicking "xterm.js".

Please let me know if you have any more issues

In addition to @npiet correct answer:

using SSH would also help
