I was discussing this issue in gnome irc and someone pointed out another issue, which may be related:
As mentioned already, when "xclip -selection clipboard" is used, you can paste in gedit (for example) with Ctrl-V. But the "Paste" action is grayed out in the right-click and "Edit" menus. gedit is used as an example, but the issues seems to happen in all other GUI apps such as firefox, etc. -- "xclip -selection clipboard" does not paste to terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
