Can you try this hint from the EmacsWiki? <snip> X11 Copy & Paste to/from Emacs:
Emacs 21.2.1 & newer: (setq x-select-enable-clipboard t) See also http://www.oreillynet.com/lpt/wlg/6162 which suggests (setq x-select-enable-clipboard t) ; as above (setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value) For the record, none of these have allowed me to copy and paste between Emacs and Firefox/386 1.5.0.1 on Ubuntu/amd64. – EraEriksson </snip> Let us know if that fixes it. Also, if you could add that to the response as well. thanks, speeves -- Edgy: cannot paste text in Gnome apps from Emacs https://launchpad.net/bugs/55631 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
