Suddenly the guest extensions in Qemu stopped working.
Just a short while ago I was praising Qemu as an alternative to VirtualBox, at least under Linux. When I started it today, the guest extensions no longer wanted to work.
No screen resolution adjustment, no clipboard, no drag & drop. First I checked the “QEMU Guest Agent”, which was running. If it does not run or does not appear, then start the service or reinstall the guest extensions.
In the end, the cause was my own fault. I had played around in the configuration and deleted the “Channel”. But this is needed. Here are the settings:
- Channel type
- com.redhad.spice.0
- Spice agent (spicevmc)
After the restart everything worked as usual.
