Okay, I have remote desktop enabled in the Windows guest, and using
rdesktop in the Fedora host, I can copy and paste between them. This
has the additional benefit of being able to have the guest desktop
matching the size of the host desktop; I can do:
rdesktop -g1920x1200 ip_address_of_guest
However, this just works for Windows. How do people solve this
problem for all guest operating systems? What is the best practice?
Here is my script for starting my VM:
export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0
export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa
kvm -boot c -hda /home/jserink/winxp1.img -cdrom /home/jserink/CDs/winxp.iso -m 1512 -net nic,vlan=0,model=virtio -net user -localtime -soundhw es1370 -no-quit -vga cirrus &
/home/jserink/qgt-2005-03-02-19/host-linux 127.0.0.1 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
I use host-linux to enable copy and past (text only) between my VM running XP and linux. Works great.
host-linux comes from the Qemu-Guest-Tools, QGT. its very dated, from 1995 but works great. You get the windows executable and the linux source, build it and away you go.
Its available here: http://wolfpackally.wo.funpic.de/qemu/qgt/
People, I had the same issue and I just used SSH to connect to virtual machine the copy/pasting is bliss !
......well at least for command line stuff, otherwise, use some sort of desktop forwarding, maybe that works, I don't know about it surely, though, I don't forward desktops very much lately but it should do.

It looks abandoned but it works fine.

Hi there,
If the computers are online, you can easily copy texts using
