Just chiming in to say that I am experiencing this problem on a fresh install of Kubuntu 20.04. I previously experienced it on a forced upgrade from 19.10->20.04; I thought perhaps the upgrade process was too premature so I wiped and started fresh. Still broken. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I find I often have to hit CTRL+C twice to get it to work.
My observations are that the clipboard manager actually has the contents I'm looking for. It just sometimes refuses to paste them. It doesn't seem to be a keyboard issue, because I can press CTRL+C, CTRL+V, and the paste wont work no matter how many times I press CTRL+V. But if I open the clipboard manager in the tray, I can see clearly that it "copied" the value I wanted into the clipboard. If I then select that value using the GUI, suddenly CTRL+V will now paste the item. So, FWIW, it may not be anything to do with keyboard race conditions so much as a core fundamental problem with the clipboard manager. I did not have these problems with 18.04, 19.04, or 19.10, and my hardware has not changed between versions. Also want to note that I'm also having strange selection behavior in GTK+ apps. Selections won't hold most of the time - I'll select the text, and the second I let go of the SHIFT key, the selection disappears. Very, very frustrating. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to spice-vdagent in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872527 Title: Clipboard doesn't work 100% of the time in Ubuntu 20.04 (in KVM guests) Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in spice package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in spice-protocol package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in spice-vdagent package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in virt-manager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in spice-protocol source package in Focal: Incomplete Status in spice-vdagent source package in Focal: Incomplete Status in spice-vdagent package in Debian: Fix Released Status in spice package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/linux/vd_agent/issues/9 --- I'm testing Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) Beta. I installed Kubuntu 20.04 and virt-manager as I did many times on Ubuntu 18.04. Unfortunatelly when I run a VM (QEMU-KVM, libvirt, libspice-server1 and spice-vdagent) with another Kubuntu 20.04 guest or with Ubuntu 20.04 guest then clipboard doesn't work right. To test it, please install Kubuntu 20.04 and then install Kubuntu / Ubuntu 20.04 as VM (guest). Open some simple text editor and start Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V plain text. 90% of time it will work and 10% of time it won't.
