and virt-manager
for virtualizationI installed
spice-vdagent
into guest systemWhen I run
spice-vdagent
in guest system for first time in fresh installation it hangs until I also run spice-vdagent
in host system.Upon reboot of the guest
spice-vdagent
command runs fine in guest, without needing for the command to be run in host as well.When
spice-vdagent
command is run this starts the spice-vdagentd
service.I've read several tutorials and none of them say I need
spice-vdagent
on host system.Do I need it on host system?
Do I need
spice-vdagentd
service to be running on host? (it's started not by systemctl
but with spice-vdagent
command)How does spice-vdagent work between host and guest, if only guest needs it, why? and how that works?
