From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it possible to copy paste with QEMU?

I'm running Arch on my machine with Kali in a QEMU VM and I'd like to copy paste between the two. How can this be done?

I know this isn't a real answer, but it's what I use as a stop gap measure... I basically have a text file called buffer, and ssh into the VM on a terminal on my host, and paste into the buffer file.

I know it's lame, but for simple text and stuff, it works. For things like files and pics, I use a shared drive.

If someone has a better answer... Please let me know!

SPICE is the answer

The spice must flow....

I see that spice is a grayed-out option in Proxmox, is it relatively easy to get it going?
