[libvirt-users] Clipboard
I am unable to cut and paste between a Fedora 19 host and a Fedora 19 guest. Am I doing something wrong or is this a known problem that I have not been able to find?

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.

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.

Ah! Thank you. No, it was not installed on any of the Fedora 19 VMs, but it was installed and running on the Fedora 18 VMs. Is this difference in installation because of something I did or should have done? I am using the same virt-install script for both Fedora 18 and 19.
