Describe the issue
Clipboard sharing in macOS host and guest stop working after some period of time (minutes of inactivity as it seems).
This seems to be caused by spice-vdagentd - killing both spice-vdagent and spice-vdagentd resolves the issue and clipboard sharing starts working again until next time.
I use this command to kill:
sudo killall -m 'spice-vdagent?'
It causes automatic restart of both processes - restarting any of the processes alone is not enough apparently.

Configuration

  • UTM Version: 4.6.4
  • macOS Version: 15.2
  • Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M1

I have noticed some issue. Looks like activating screen savers on the VM seems to break the clipboard sharing. (I prevented monitor sleep and sleep of the VM in general).
Using the above kill -command seems to recover it.

I also noticed the same issue. This also occurs when the VM is restored from a saved state.
