Gnome Boxes shared clipboard in flatpak in Fedora Silverblue

HI, I installed Boxes as flatpak and can spin-up images. I want to be able to copy-paste into the VM terminal. Is this possible? Thanks.

The operating system that you are virtualizing (inside the virtual machine) needs the spice-guest-tools/vdagent installed for clipboard sharing to work.

For more Linux distributions you can install that from their package manager. For Windows you can get it from Download (check the Guest session).

Thanks for the response… yeah I did install it…
But actually I think the issue is the vm is headless, so no gui/clipboard… I think.

As an alternative I’m looking at podman VMs, but pre-requisite to layer in qemu oh the system.
