Try pasting to a word processor then copy again and paste into your VM session. I have to do this with linux and VDI or other VMs. PIA but it gets job done. Bigfoot. -----Original Message----- From: Keith Roberts [mailto:keith.roberts@ecric.nhs.uk] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2014 5:55 AM To: opensuse-security@opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse-security] Inserting Boot Passphrase to decrypt hard drive Greetings all. At work we have a set of VM's that are all using encryption on their hard drive images. The current way to insert the decryption key is by using vncviewer which can be quite time consuming and error prone as we have to manually type the passphrase into the vncviewer, because copy and paste is not working on my iMac. Is there a better way you know of please how to insert the passphrase to allow the VM to boot up normally. We have discussed a separate boot partition that is not encrypted, but this is not a viable alternative.
