It's hard to say with the level of details you have here. If you're using the spice protocol and you have the guest agent (spice-vdagent) installed inside the VM then you'll be able to cut and paste in graphical consoles. > _______________________________________________ > libvirt-users mailing list > libvirt-users@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
Oops, I apologize. I am using virt-install as follows to create the virtual machines and I am connecting to the virtual machines from a different physical machine using virt-manager or virt-viewer via SSH. I thought this combination was sharing the clipboard when everything was on Fedora 18, but since upgrading to Fedora 19 the clipboard does not seem to be shared.
