[Spice-devel] spice-vdagent[$PID]: clipboard: unexpected selection type STRING

[Thomas Koch]

Hi,

I've blocks of this message twice a second in the syslog of my kvm guest:

spice-vdagent[3676]: clipboard: unexpected selection type STRING

The messages start to appear when I copy something in the host and they stop 
when I copy something in the guest. I also get the following line once when I 
select text in the host:

spice-vdagent[3676]: primary: received release while not owning client 
clipboard

My Host runs Debian stable with virt-manager (0.9.1-4), libspice-server1 
(0.11.0-1), libspice-client-gtk-3.0-1 (0.12-5), spice-client (0.11.0-1), 
spice-client-gtk (0.12-5), python-spice-client-gtk (0.12-5). I use virt-
managers built in spice viewer.

The guest runs Debian testing with spice-vdagent (0.14.0-1), libspice-server1 
(0.12.3-0nocelt).

I was running the program autocutsel[1] on the host, but the symptom was still 
there after I killed autocutsel. I remove it from autostart and will test 
again after a reboot (tomorrow?).
