Summary: a feature is not working: copy/paste works initially as expected but then fails.
Kubuntu 18.04 host and various other Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 flavors as guest.
I don't see any slowdown but copy/paste initially works between host and guest (either way) and then stops working altogether
- between host and guest and

- just in the host.
I have to shut down the VM to be able to copy/paste again in the host.

I am also getting this error in my Ubuntu 18.04 logs during boot. I tried disabling it under Startup Applications:
Spice vdagent
/usr/bin/
Agent for Spice guests
... yet I still get the error. I tested the service path by temporarily renaming /usr/bin/
I don't need the Spice vdagent service, so is there an elegant way to prevent the service from even trying to run?
The easiest solution would be to uninstall spice-vdagent, but that doesn't seem to be possible, since it would also remove ubuntu-desktop, which would be unfortunate, to say the least.

Charles Green (chick) wrote : | #16 |
I cant speak to other peoples issues - I trigger the message in the system journal, by booting my system. I understand gdm3 starts the spice-vdagent program? I have not noted any ill effects, and I've been simply ignoring it.

I have the problem every time I login, within ~30 seconds, without doing anything.
I get an error popup asking to ignore or report the problem. When I click on "report problem", the popup disappears and not sure if anything occurs.

In my case I was just doing my normal stuff, openoffice, stellaris, and chromium, when the system ground to a halt, the mouse became choppy, and after clicking on something (eg terminal) it would take minutes to open. I wanted to try 'top' in a terminal but the computer just hung. I had to reset. The 'important' errors just prior to the crash in the log:

Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.
I am running ubuntu 18.10 and it's been pretty reliable overall. This is a regular computer, not a virtual machine.

I have the same issue.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS on a Dell desktop
Mostly when copying text, but sometimes when also opening a pdf and other applications, the system freezes for approx 30 seconds. After freezing for 3 or so times, it also logs me out. It also appears that the freezes become more frequent right before logging me out.
Before my last update, copying text would simply close the application from which I copied text. Now copying just causes a freeze about 1 in 5 times.
Here is my gnu log:

I am wondering if a JVM can be used to more reliably trigger the bug and thus help isolate it? Hopefully someone else reading this has an opinion...
Below is my experience and the reason why I am considering this idea:
I have had what I first believed were random black screens, restarts directly after login, occasional hangups, and also one two reproducible issues...
1.) I run Google Chrome in nearly every session. I like to listen to music using the Youtube website. As time passes and I open, close, and move forward through the playsists on the site Chrome will become less and less responsive. It will occassionally crash the application too. It will usually be fixed by completely closing the application and running it again. Maybe it is a due to an issue which can be triggered through Java or JScript?
2.) My reason for the Java/JScript angle is that I discovered I cannot use Open Office - certain features in it will freeze my entire desktop session completely. This leaves the mouse able to move but nothing else works at all. The same is true for several other select applications - all of which I have removed form the machine. But one thing all the applications have in common is heavy reliance on Java/JScript.
So, perhaps the use of a JVM can help to trigger this issue reliable and thus find the actual source of the bug?
Anybody else able to confirm or refute this idea?

Wish I had the ability to edit a post...
Scratch most of my last post. There is a problem with vdagent~, but I just refuted my previous post. I do have the error, but I am 99.9% certain that it does not cause the problems that I am experiencing which brought me to this bug report. Apologies if the previous post caused any inconvenience.

Step to reproduce:
Plug HDMI cable 4k ready, of course connected to 4k screen.
Actual result:
Purpul screen (default color of my background) on both screen...
To have any things displayed I need to use CTRL + ALT + F1.
Expected result:

We have found a workaround, for the display not usable.
I give it here for people like me who were stuck... with dell.
Since I cannot comment my post #24, here a summary:
Step to reproduce:
Plug HDMI cable 4k ready, of course connected to 4k screen.
Actual result:
Purpul screen (default color of my background) on both screen...
To have any things displayed I need to use CTRL + ALT + F1.
Using "Screen Mode" key (i.e. F8) we were able to have display properly set.

Hi all,
I've found this messages in systemd journal but in my case it was a bare metal install of Ubuntu 18.04, so I don't see the need to have spice-vdagent installed (that I understand is for virtual machine guest). Remove it is not an option because it will remove ubuntu-desktop.
I tried then to disable it with:
$ sudo systemctl disable spice-vdagent
But that was not enough. I found that it was being launched on startup (and that created the error and warning in the logs) so I located the spice-vdagent.
https:/
Basically adding the line:
X-GNOME-
To the files:
/etc/xdg/
/usr/share/
Then stop and disable the service:
$ sudo systemctl stop spice-vdagentd
$ sudo systemctl disable spice-vdagentd
If I understand my case right this service should not be part of initialization if the installation is not a virtual machine supporting spice.
Hope this helps others with similar case, regards.
