Bug ID: 470057
Summary: Shared Clipboard of Wayland applications is not
working for VMs
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
URL: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/linux/vd_agent/-/
issues/26
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mila...@eclipso.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
Flags: Wayland+, X11-
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install vanilla Kubuntu 23.04 in a virtualbox VM
2. install virtualbox guest additions & enable shared clipboard between host &
VM
3. configure Kubuntu to start in Wayland and reboot
OBSERVED RESULT
it's possible to copy & paste values in xWayland applications (e.g. FF in X
mode) from host to VM and vice versa. Copy & pasting in native wayland
applications fails.
EXPECTED RESULT
should be possible to use copy & paste for Wayland VMs. See also the upstream
bug for Wayland to provide an API for VM (virtualbox & VMWare). However, plain
Ubuntu (gnome Wayland) is able to sync the wayland & x clipboard so that it's
possible to use the shared clipboard in VMs. For compatibility, it would be
awesome if Kubuntu could sync to the x clipboard completely, too.
