Bug#901655: plasma-workspace: Keyboard input and clipboard freezes when virt-manager is used



¡Hola Phil!

Package: plasma-workspace
Version: 4:5.12.5-1
Severity: normal

after update to Buster I found that I cannot use virtualization (KVM/QEMU, virt-manager) on KDE Plasma 5.12
since clipboard is constantly freezing. I tested this behaviour both with Debian VM with Plasma and Windows VM.

To reproduce this issue simply install and upgrade host to Buster and run one or more VMs with
"spice-vdagent" that handles clipboard. Simply copy text (Ctrl+C/V) from host to host or from host to VM or
from VM to host or within. In random intervals paste fails and time to time keyboard input hangs so you
cannot even type.

The solution is to close virt-manager. Then everything is OK again and you can copy and paste.

As a workaround, you might want to disable the kde clipboard manager, you can disable it in the system tray settings (right click on top of the system tray applet), and deselect the clipboard checkbox.

As for the bug, this is an upstream bug, either in spice-vdagent or in klipper or in spice-vdagent, could you report the issue to klipper in bugs.kde.org? If you do this, please add a note in this bug with the link of the reported bug.

Happy hacking,
