Re: [Xen-users] Host/guest clipboard?

["Kris Adler" <spurfan15@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply Jim. I guess it is possible (if necessary) to run a separate vnc server or other remote desktop tool on a guest OS. However, I would really prefer, if possible, to connect to the built-in dom0 ip VNC (I'm using Xen-3.1.2-2.fc8 and libvirt-0.4.2-1.fc8 -- I remember reading that qemu-dm is the newer of the techniques, so I assume that's what mine is using. But I don't know). Does the dom0 VNC just not support clipboard passing, and not have _any_ way of changing this setting to allow it? If there is a way to get this working, I would really an explanation of what I need to do.

Regards,

Kris

Clipboard depends on the server you are connecting to. vncviewer from tightvnc
passes the clipboard very well if you are using tightvnc server on the guest,
instead of connecting to the dom0 ip (based on qemu-dm or xen-vncfb). For hvm
domus, this can be very slow, However, for Windows, rdesktop is very good at
passing the clipboard (among other things).
