Summary	0003139: spice-vdagent not sharing clipboard or resizing desktop
Description	It appears to me that Kali reintroduced the bug here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756243 The spice-vdagent 0.15.0-1.1 was configured against console-kit instead of systemd. 0.15.0-1.2 resolved this issue, but the version installed in Kali is 0.15.0.1.3 which again breaks the clipboard. Downgrading to 0.15.0-1.2 fixed the issue.
Additional Information	I am running Archlinux as a host OS with libvirt and spice-gtk3 client.

crash 2017-09-04 15:27 reporter ~0007245	Hi guys! This bug is fixed in the version 0.17.0-1. A little problem is there is a bug in the start script: Selecting previously unselected package spice-vdagent. (Reading database ... 368803 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../spice-vdagent_0.17.0-1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking spice-vdagent (0.17.0-1) ... Setting up spice-vdagent (0.17.0-1) ... update-rc.d: We have no instructions for the spice-vdagent init script. update-rc.d: It looks like a non-network service, we enable it. spice-vdagentd.target is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it. Processing triggers for systemd (234-2.3) ... Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.6.1-2) ... Log ended: 2017-09-04 10:38:02 solution: root@kali:/etc/systemd/system# mkdir spice-vdagentd.target.wants ln -s /lib/systemd/system/spice-vdagentd.service /etc/systemd/system/spice-vdagentd.target.wants/spice-vdagentd.service

rhertzog 2017-09-04 15:59 administrator ~0007246	That should be fixed with base-files 2017.2.1. I have added spice-vdagentd.service in the whitelist of services that can be enabled by default. Please feel free to re-open if that doesn't work in the upcoming daily images: http://archive.kali.org/kali-daily-images/
