On the server,to be able to connect to your VMs with SPICE, you need a QEMU binary compiled with SPICE support (which will cause it to link with spice-server). > - What has to be installed in the guest - I followed the description from > http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/SPICE For copy and paste, you need to have the SPICE guest agent installed in the guest, plus the appropriate virtio-serial driver (which is part of the upstream linux kernel these days, so should not be an issue). > - What has to be installed in the workstation additional to the spice-client, > to establish connection between the server and the VM. Only remote-viewer should be needed. You might find more detailed information about all of this in http://people.freedesktop.org/~teuf/spice-doc/html/ > > - How can I debug the named problems? Provided that you are using the same client machine/binary, and the same server to run the Windows XP guest and the Debian guest, c&p working in one guest and not the other would point at a guest issue. You should have spice-vdagent and spice-vdagentd running in the Debian VM if you want copy and paste to work. Christophe
