"Copy and paste" feature across guest and host

"Copy and paste" feature across guest and host

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Just installed Fedora13 as guest on KVM.  However there is no  
cross-platform "copy and paste" feature.  I trust I have setup this  
feature on other guest sometime before.  Unfortunately I can't the  
relevant document.  Could you please shed me some light.  Pointer  
would be appreciated.  TIA

Did you try;

# modprobe virtio-copypaste

?


Seriously, qemu does not make it easy (well, its GUI does not make most 
things easy) and you'll need a tool which synchronizes the clipboard 
between two machines (google for "qemu copy paste"?).

There is no cut&paste at the moment. The plan is to enable it through 
virtio-serial and have spice & vnc use it. Cannot guarantee a date but 
it shouldn't be too long.

Maybe NX / FreeNX will suit your needs.
