Adapt Spice-Guest-Tools installer and documentation for Windows 11
Challenge
The challenge is that with the latest Windows 11, if installing only spice-guest-tools-latest, the clipboard sharing fails
Suggested Resolution 1
Adapt the spice-guest-tools installer so that both Spice-Guest-Tools and Virtio-Win-Guest-Tools are automatically installed.
In any order. We tested both orders. Both were successful.
Suggested Resolution 2
Update this documentation page at https://www.spice-space.org/download.html to advise users to:
- Install Spice-Guest-Tools
- Install Virtio-Win-Guest-Tools
- Reboot Windows 11
Using
- Latest Spice-Guest-Tools
- Latest Virtio-Win-Guest-Tools
- Guess Windows 11 version 23H2. 64 bits.
- Host Debian 12 Bookworm. GNOME 43.9. Wayland. 64 bits.
No need to install anything on the Host. Except Virtual Manager (Virt-Manager). Also on the Host, no need to change any configuration with Virt-Manager. The default ones worked. In our case, Debian 12 Bookworm with GNOME Wayland.
Contribution
Any volunteer for this? Both me and the Ubertus.Org team would be happy, as volunteer, to contribute testing and documentation, if needed.
