Hello,

in order to get kvm with copy/paste from host working i tried to install
the spice-vdagent.

Obviously it fails to work if i choose to use it virt-manager.

I checked the system-logs and found the error-message

***** Missing virtio device '/dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.spice.0': No
such file or
directory *****

Because of the timestamp of spicy-vdagent i think it is related to the
following Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1006205

Does anyone know how to bypass this problem untill the newest version of
spice-vdagent is added to the official trisquel-repositories?

Thanks in Advice!

Maybe i got some missconfiguration due to my prior installation of
arkose, which does'nt work. If so, it means i have to reinstall my
system.

Does anyone use the spice-agent with virt-manager successfully?

Thanks in Advice!

I finally solved this problem. The Client was missing. I solved it by

sudo apt-get install python-spice-client-gtk
