Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how I can copy and paste into a Virtual Machine in the web interface using a web browser. This is specifically when you click the Console tab of a Virtual Machine The operating system is Ubuntu if that helps and I am on the latest version of Proxmox.
 
Works here as it should. I tested it with default and the VGA card you configured. Both work in both directions. You first copy it to the clipboard and then to the VM.

Ah ok, yes, it doesn't work like that on a console. I use the serial console via xterm.js on all my servers. It works like a real terminal. Just copy/paste too. But this requires two things:

  1. you have to add an serial port to your VM
  2. you have to configure the serial port in your grub cmd "/etc/default/grub"
Code: 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=ttyS0,115200"

and execute update-grub

After the the next reboot, your serial terminal with copy/paste should work :cool:
