Hello all,
I've recently begun using Xspice as a remote desktop solution. I'm
finding its performance to be greatly superior to VNC, RDP or others.
Nice!
I wrote a small wrapper script that launches Xspice on a remote
machine with the following arguments:
Xspice --auto --disable-ticketing --deferred-fps 30
--audio-fifo-dir $AUDIO_FIFO_DIR --xsession startxfce4 :1
All works well, however I am unable to get vdagent working for
clipboard redirection. What happens instead is no cursor appears in
the remote session, and mouse input is ignored. Only keyboard input
still works.
When I add the --vdagent argument, I see that two additional
subprocesses are started:
$ ps -ef | grep Xspice
jordan 17426 17404 0 22:52 pts/2 00:00:00
/usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd -f -x -S /tmp/xspice-vdagent -s
/tmp/xspice-virtio -u /tmp/xspice-uinput
jordan 17436 17404 0 22:52 pts/2 00:00:00 /usr/bin/spice-vdagent
-x -s /tmp/xspice-virtio -S /tmp/xspice-vdagent
confirmation that the agent pipes and sockets are created successfully:
$ ls -la /tmp | grep xspice-
prw-r--r-- 1 jordan jordan 0 Feb 4 23:43 xspice-uinput
srw-rw-rw- 1 jordan jordan 0 Feb 4 23:43 xspice-vdagent
srwxr-xr-x 1 jordan jordan 0 Feb 4 23:43 xspice-virtio
I tried running with '--xsession xterm' and got the same results, so
it appears unrelated to XFCE or any of my startup applications.
(possibly) relevant details:
* remote machine: Ubuntu 16.04 amd64
* spice-vdagent 0.17.0-1
* xserver-xspice 0.1.4-3ubuntu3
* local machine: Xubuntu 16.04 amd64
* virt-viewer 1.0-1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jordan
