Canonical way to start spice-vdagent?

[Marc Haber]

Hi,

I am running KDE inside a test VM which gets accessed via virt-manager
or virt viewer with spice, qxl etc. To get seamless session resizing in
that setup, I need to run spice-vdagent as the user logging into KDE.

Isnt this supposed to happen automatically? If so, which package should
get the bug report for not doing that?

What would be the canonical way to set spice-vdagent to be autostarted?
Is it ok to configure that in Systemd Settings => Autostart or is there
are more elegant way?

Greetings
Marc

The way I do it is by using the user level systemd service.

I think latest vdagent improved this by making their user level service

depend on graphical user session.

See: 

* https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/linux/vd_agent/-/blob/master/data/spice-vdagent.service

* https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/linux/vd_agent/-/merge_requests/47

The one in Debian now is still outdated:

/usr/lib/systemd/user/spice-vdagent.service

So you can probably patch that manually with the above and see if that helps.
