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?

Okay, so my guess was right. Don't bother setting things up manually, qemu and libvirt are hellishly complex. If you don't need something super special, use virt-manager.

Just use the provided qemu image on the Kali site, import it, and you're good to go. Don't worry about the other stuff.

Depending in your screen you might have to set a custom screen resolution, but if you're using something standard, xfce should automatically recognize everything.

A little tip: set up an ssh server on the VM and upload an ssh key, that way you can get a Kali she'll quickly from the comfort of your hosts terminal.

After some work, I got virt-manager up and running with kali. Copy and paste works! Thank you so much for your help!
