--- Begin Message ---Package: hw-detect Severity: normal User: de...@kali.org Usertags: origin-kali Dear Maintainer, hw-detect already installs the package qemu-guest-agent when kvm/qemu virtualization is detect, in 'hw-detect.finish-install.d/08hw-detect': kvm|qemu) apt-install --with-recommends qemu-guest-agent || true I'd find it welcome if in such case it would also install spice-vdagent. As far as I know, installing spice-vdagent in the qemu guest is the only way to share the clipboard between the host and the guest. I think that clipboard sharing is a useful feature. To go a bit more into details, clipboard sharing requires two things to work. 1) Host-side: Enable spice while running the VM with qemu. It means that the qemu command-line must have the following arguments: -spice port=3001,disable-ticketing \ -device virtio-serial \ -chardev spicevmc,id=vdagent,debug=0,name=vdagent \ -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 \ 2) Guest-side: The package spice-vdagent must be installed. For more details, refer to: <https://www.spice-space.org/spice-user-manual.html> The package spice-vdagent Depends on the Xorg stack, among other things: $ apt show spice-vdagent | grep Depends Pre-Depends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.54~) Depends: libasound2 (>= 1.0.22), libc6 (>= 2.14), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.9.14), libdrm2 (>= 2.4.3), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.50), libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.22), libpciaccess0, libsystemd0, libx11-6, libxinerama1, libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.99.2) So maybe it would be acceptable to install it with something like: if detect_desktop; then apt-install --with-recommends spice-vdagent || true fi What do you think?

[ Laurent Bigonville ] * Install spice-vdagent under qemu/kvm if we are installing a desktop (i.e. if xserver-xorg-core or task-desktop are installed). Closes: #986500. . [ Pascal Hambourg ] * Ignore renesas_usb_fw.mem requested by xhci-pci-renesas when falling back to the ROM. Devices might already work at this point, and a reload would risk making them disappear all of a sudden. This can catastrophic if that affects the installation medium! See: #1105000. .
