 |
|
I am using Gentoo as guest vm with openSUSE host. Wish to get copy/paste between host/guest going. Installed needed spice-vdagent.
In trying to get spice-vdagent to start I get missing kernel module message below.
| Code: |
gentooVM ~ # rc-service spice-vdagent start
* Checking for required modules and devices ...
* Module 'uinput' not loaded or not enabled in the kernel
* ERROR: spice-vdagent failed to start
gentooVM ~ #
|
I assume message is referring to "uinput" to be a kernel module. I cannot find "uinput" in module list as installed or available for my current 6.9.3 kernel. I cannot find any references on how to obtain "uinput" module.
I did put "uinput" into a newly built /etc/modules-load.d/networking.conf as suggested in the docs related to kernel and did a reboot but to no avail.
Perhaps, I think I need to build a new kernel that incorporates "uinput". I need some idea of where to look for "uinput" options [/code]in kernel configuration.
Not a critical issue as I can copy/paste to gentoo through ssh but this is something I'd like to master. |

Yes, you need this option built-in or built as module :
| Code: |
$ zgrep UINPUT /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT=m
|
| Code: |
Symbol: INPUT_UINPUT [=m]
│ Type : tristate
│ Defined at drivers/input/misc/Kconfig:513
│ Prompt: User level driver support
│ Depends on: INPUT [=y] && INPUT_MISC [=y]
│ Location:
│ -> Device Drivers
│ -> Input device support
│ -> Generic input layer (needed for keyboard, mouse, ...) (INPUT [=y])
│ -> Miscellaneous devices (INPUT_MISC [=y])
│ (1) -> User level driver support (INPUT_UINPUT [=m])

Rebuilt kernel using 'add module' instructions provided. Now I can copy/paste directly from openSUSE host to gentoo guest w/o ssh to guest.
I also added module to generate /proc/config.gz as I didn't have that before.
thanks |
