Public bug reported: Feature Freeze Exception =======================
Have ubuntu-gnome-desktop recommend spice-vdagent https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/spice-vdagent $ apt show spice-vdagent Package: spice-vdagent Version: 0.15.0-1.3 Priority: optional Section: universe/x11 Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <[email protected]> Original-Maintainer: Liang Guo <[email protected]> Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Installed-Size: 159 kB Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.26.0), libpciaccess0, libsystemd0, libx11-6, libxfixes3, libxinerama1, libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.99.2), init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~) Homepage: http://www.spice-space.org/ Download-Size: 43.5 kB APT-Sources: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu yakkety/universe amd64 Packages Description: Spice agent for Linux spice-vdagent is the spice agent for Linux, it is used in conjunction with spice-compitable hypervisor, its feature includs: \* Client mouse mode (no need to grab mouse by client, no mouse lag) this is handled by the daemon by feeding mouse events into the kernel via uinput. This will only work if the active X-session is running a spice-vdagent process so that its resolution can be determined. \* Automatic adjustment of the X-session resolution to the client resolution \* Support of copy and paste (text and images) between the active X-session and the client Justification ============ The GNOME virtualization app Boxes (gnome-boxes) uses Spice. The small spice-vdagent package is more or less equivalent to VirtualBox's guest additions. >From IRC yesterday: bochecha > one thing though, which could make your Debian-GNOME vms snappier is to install spice-vdagent inside the vm if you don't have it installed already. Fedora Workstation has it installed by default, so that Fedora runs nicely in vms out of the box.
