On the settings page for your virtual machine, ensure that you have a
channel for Spice (I got this automatically with the Arch
virt-manager package):
Device type: spicevmc
Target type: virtio
Target name: com.redhat.spice.0
Guest
host $ ssh guest
guest $ su -
guest # apt-get install spice-vdagent
guest # systemctl enable spice-vdagent
guest # systemctl start spice-vdagent
Update 2022-11-28: I noticed the clipboard stopped working in my
Debian guest running fluxbox. I added this manually (or in
~/.fluxbox/startup) to start the spice agent for my user:
spice-vdagent &
Two way clipboard
That's it. I can now copy text from Firefox running in the virtual machine and paste it into Chrome running on my host machine.
