Copy/Paste Not working macOS Host to Guest Monterey VM from Apple Silicon Laptop

[pauljrob]

Describe the issue
Copy and paste is not working between the host and the guest. Is this expected behavior or is there something additional that needs to be enabled?

Configuration

• UTM Version: 3.0.4
• OS Version: Monterey
• Intel or Apple Silicon? Apple Silicon

From Parallels Desktop notes:

Productivity and integration features are not available to this VM yet. It is not possible to suspend and resume the VM, shared folders and snapshots are not supported for now. Apart from that it is currently not possible to adjust guest macOS screen resolution in real-time mode when resizing ratio; to change virtual machine amount of CPU and RAM or its hardware parameters (Device UUID and Serial number) and to register with Apple ID. USB and camera sharing are also missing in macOS Monterey VM running on a Mac with Apple M1 chips so far.

Parallels Engineering Team is researching ways to expand the list of supported features in future product updates. Shared Clipboard has already been added. To enable this feature make sure Parallels Tools are installed and up-to-date.

So, it looks to me like shared clipboard is possible, but requires adding something inside the guest VM and supporting it through the VM framework.

Anyone not connected with UTM development want to have a look at what Parallels is doing and describe it in broad terms? Might be usable inside x86_64 macOS VMs too. Or someone figuring out SPICE integration for macOS.

That's the only thing preventing me from using a Monterey VM on Apple Silicon right now.

You may want to update to 3.2.1?

None of the beta releases have assets attached (no links to dmg, etc).

Uhhh have you tried clicking on the word “Assets”

[flotpg]

Ahh, too blind. For stable releases the assets are expanded. Betas are collapsed.
Found it and will try, many thanks.
