I installed XFCE on it. I wanted to enable copy-and-paste, so I tried to install spice-vdagent on it, but it kept crashing. I checked the output using the "-x" parameter, and basically, it crashed due to the lack of /dev/uinput.

I tried the standard edition of Alpine, and right after the installation, /dev/uinput was not present. > > In case that Alpine Linux indeed does not support /dev/uinput, can't the spice service run anyway? All I want is text copy-and-paste between the host and the guest, and does that feature need /dev/uinput? Hi, try to add "-f -u /dev/null" to the parameters (that is "--fake-uinput --uinput-device /dev/null"). Frediano
