Copy & Paste (Strg +C/Strg+V) causes hangs in Windows 7 client

    • Open Issue created by Bugzilla Migration User @bugzilla-migration

    Submitted by ch_..@..gmx.de

    Assigned to Spice Bug List

    Link to original bug (#92176)

    Description

    I use qemu/kvm with a Windows 7 x64 client. Having spice 0.100 installed copy & paste does not work on around 50% of the times. It will hang the client OS for several seconds instead when trying to copy/paste text in the client. When using virt-viewer following message appears on the host console: (virt-viewer:13283): GSpice-CRITICAL **: clipboard_request: assertion 's->clipboard_by_guest[selection] == FALSE' failed

    The bug also happens when using virt-manager instead of virt-viewer.

      You are using a windows client to connect to a windows guest, is that correct? Could you attach the client log to the bugzilla?

      Host: Debian GNU/Linux 8.2 Guest: Win7 x64, spice-guest-tools v0.100

      First configuration: qemu-system-x86: 2.1 libspice-server1 0.12.5

      Second configuration: qemu-system-x86: 2.4 libspice-server1 0.12.6

      In first configuration copy-paste to atlassian hipchat, notepad++ and some other applications in guest caused guest freeze with 100% (and more according to top) CPU usage by qemu process on host. Once I've seen that vdagent used 100% of CPU on guest in the same situation. Also frequently be observed situation described in bugreport.

      In second configuration influence of copy-paste has reduced but main bug remains.

      Main bug (in both configurations): In arbitary time picture in virt-viewer freezes. If try to close virt-viewer, it shows black screen with notice in center: 'Waiting for closing view 1' (or something similar). It may be closed only by [x]kill. After restarting virt-viewer things proceed normally. Some time qemu-kvm instance consumes 100% CPU and vm freezes. First issue happens about every hour or half a hour. Second one-two times a day during continuous vm usage. Btw, second issue may be concerned with memory usage. I have only 2Gb of memory dedicated to vm and chrome eats it very fast.

      Host: Debian GNU/Linux 8.2 Guest: Win7 x64, spice-guest-tools v0.100

      Second configuration: qemu-system-x86: 2.4 libspice-server1 0.12.6

      You are mentioning the Host and Guest, which is the client? Windows or Linux? This bug was opened with windows client so your problem could be different.

      In case your client is windows as well, could you please attach the logs from client and qemu to this bug?

      Could you please try with newer version? virt-viewer in fedora 23 is 3.0. If you still have a problem, you can file another bug as this one by Comment 0 is on windows client

      I can produce the bug with virt-viewer 2.0.4. Now I try virt-viewer 3.0.1 and will report when it happens again. The proplem either occurs pretty often (~50 of the copy/paste tries) or never in one session. If I reboot the system (I tried only both host and client) and than it seems determined by change wheter it occurs often or never in the new session.

      @victor Toso: Where do I get the trace from? What do you mean with the word client? I use linux42 as host and Windows 7 x64 as client.

      The problem also happens with virt-viewer 3.0.1.

      Are other features (eg resizing the window changes guest's display resolution) working when copy&paste doesn't work?

      Hello, i think i have hitted the same bug.

      Host: Fedora 27 (Linux 4.15.6-300.fc27.x86_64 #1 (closed) SMP), spice-server-0.14.0-1.fc27.x86_64, spice-gtk3-0.34-1.fc27.x86_64 Guest: Windows 7 SP1 fully updated as of 2018-03, vdagent (tested with 0.9.0 & 0.8.0 versions from https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/vdagent/)

      How to reproduce :

      1. Copy some text in the guest with CTRL+C (i have same results when i copy from host or other guest)
      2. First paste in text editor (notepad, office excel or whatever) in the guest with CTRL+V ; first paste command is always successful
      3. Repeat step 2 until guest hang for few second (sometime it take two tries, sometime 10 tries are needed) and paste does not work

      When the problem occur, i see the folowing message in the virt-viewer console : "(remote-viewer:10151): GSpice-CRITICAL **: clipboard_request: assertion 's->clipboard_by_guest[selection] == FALSE' failed"

      Every other features (guest auto resize, .. works correctly.

      I put the complete virt-viewer logs for completeness :

      The client is remote-viewer/the machine running remote-viewer. It may or may not be the same as the host machine (as SPICE access can be done remotely).

      I couldn't reproduce with f28 host/client and win7 guest.

      Could you provide the SPICE_DEBUG=1 log?

      Host: Fedora 28, QEMU/KVM guest virtual machine: Fedora 28. In the virtual machine, when I copy and paste a text, the window that should receive the paste freezes. Many times even the whole virtual machine GUI has problems, except for the mouse pointer. I attach some console output messages, please apologize me if they are too verbose

      Thanks @germano, are you using GNOME in your VM and client machines? and Wayland or X11?
