I installed an ubuntu 20.04 guest, when run qemu with the following -chardev qemu-vdagent,id=spice,name=vdagent,clipboard=on -device virtio-serial-pci -device virtserialport,chardev=spice,name=com.redhat.spice.0 the startup failed, the output is: qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev qemu-vdagent,id=spice,name=vdagent,clipboard=on: 'qemu-vdagent' is not a valid char driver name

Should I run qemu with clipboard sharing when I built the guest from cdrom? The guest image file was made from an offical qemu.

Hi @lzq420241 !

Try rebuilding from source like this:

brew reinstall -s qemu-virgl

It’s possible that you’ve grabbed a binary release that lags a bit behind.

Regarding the image - it doesn’t matter how you built it — the image from regular qemu will do.

Thanks! After reinstall from source, the clipboard works now.
