Hi Nick, This is behavior I experienced. Please confirm it is expected. I have local machine L, which is connected to remote machine R (via guacamole). I perform these steps and this is the result I see
1. I copy text "local" on L and paste it to R. I see value "local" on R. 2. Now I type "remote" on R, copy it on R and paste it to L. I see "remote". 3. I paste to R and I see "remote". 4. I copy "local" on L again, paste it to R and still see "remote" 5. I paste to L and see "local" Regards, Yvgeny ________________________________ From: Nick Couchman <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2023 4:18 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Re: Copy/paste doesn't work from client machine to remote On Tue, Oct 31, 2023 at 9:48 AM Yvgeny Chaplinsky <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Nick, I just would like to add my 2 cents to the problem description. Paste to remote machine works properly when the clipboard of remote machine is empty. At the moment I copy some data on the remote machine - that value will override any value I'll try to paste to the remote machine. This doesn't sound to me like the same issue that was being described in the original post. The way I read the original post: * The user is seeing the data go from the Guacamole Client through the websocket to the server, but is not getting transferred to the remote clipboard. * If the user disables the GPO setting that blocks Clipboard Redirection for RDS (RDP), everything works as expected. My answer to that is that Guacamole does not have any way to override or work around the Group Policy settings - and it should not. The policies of the Operating System always will and always should determine what is permissible. As I understand the problem you're describing, it is that data copied on the remote system overrides data that may be in the clipboard of the client. This is also fully expected - the way the Guacamole Clipboard is intended to work, and works when you have granted the appropriate permissions via the browser gesture, is that the clipboards are _synchronized_ between the local system (Guacamole Client/web browser) and any connected remote systems. This means that if you have 6 remote connections open, and you copy data in one of those connections, that data will be transferred to the client clipboard, and then synchronized across all 6 remote connections. This is completely intentional and expected. -Nick
