Hello, currently on my F14 configured with virt-preview repo I have a Win7 32bit guest.
It is running ok, with both network and disk configured as virtio devices. As I think w7 is becoming more and more used and so could be fine to have it running with all possible functionalities in Qemu/KVM for F15 I think that being able to copy/paste to/from guest would be desirable... If you think the same, I would need some clarification before testing day: a) with current releases of qemu-kvm, libvirt, virt-manager and spice pieces in virt-preview is this test feasible? If so: b) if I understand well, I "only" need to have vdagent to work in guest and so I presume I should have a line with these parameters (from http://spice-space.org/page/Whiteboard/AgentProtocol) -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent -device virtserialport,nr=1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 Do I have to setup a wrapper or does exist a config setting in virt-manager for it to be added? My current command line when I start the guest from virt-manager is: /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.14 -enable-kvm -m 1536 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name w7test -uuid de5dbc9e-14f0-f56b-8e8a-4f4986d61ad8 -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/w7test.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=localtime -boot order=dc,menu=off -drive if=none,id=drive-fdc0-0-0,format=raw -global isa-fdc.driveA=drive-fdc0-0-0 -drive if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/w7test.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,boot=on,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -netdev tap,fd=21,id=hostnet0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:d3:8e:29,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -device AC97,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 Based on my current line that already contains "-device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5", does this mean that for vdagent part, if I use the wrapper I should use instead "bus=pci.0,addr=0x6"?? c) which kind of vdagent sw do I need to download and install on guest side? Is it ok vdagent-win32-0.6.3.zip for win7? Do I need also vioserial-win-1.1.16.zip or not? d) any other suggestions? BTW: I remember for past year test day in F13+virt-preview there was a page with a list of tests to do. Is there a similar one or is it going to be written?
