Description Michael Mair-Keimberger (iamnr3) 2018-11-07 11:45:40 UTC
Hi,

The init script of spice-vdagent checks if the path /sys/module/uinput exist and doesn't start if it doesn't. However, i've compiled the uinput into the kernel and don't have this directory, thus spice-vdagent won't start and clipboard sharing won't work.

This is very annoying, and for the mean time i just commented out the "return 1" from the check. spice-vdagent starts without problems and clipboard sharing works again.

Don't really know what to check for, but i would suggest for "/dev/uinput".
