LyX under WSL2 using VcXsrv (sharing clipboard problems)
Hello, I recently started using LyX on my Windows 10 via WSL2 (Ubuntu) with VcXsrv. The application is snappy and I like configuring the supporting tools in linux (especially the tex configurations). Sadly, I can't get the clipboard to work consistently outside of X. For example: 1. In Windows, start the VcXsrv 2. In WSL2, start LyX, create New file 3. In Windows, copy some text (e.g., from Notepad++) 4. In LyX paste (this works) 5. In LyX, change the text, then Copy 6. In Notepad++, paste (no effect). Windows-V (to show the clipboard history) shows no trace of the newly copied text from LyX. 7. Try steps 2-4 again and it no longer works, implying something "breaks" the Xserver in those steps. I'm able to do copy/paste with other applications such as xfe (file explorer) and gedit (text editor), so I know my XServer can work properly (at least sometimes). Is there some option I need to configure in LyX to get it to use the proper clipboard that can be shared outside (assuming that is how it's working with xfe and gedit), or is this a bug? Here's the build info: LyX 2.3.5.2 (2020-06-25) Configuration Host type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Special build flags: build=release std-regex use-hunspell use-aspell use-enchant Bundled libraries: (none) C++ Compiler:g++ (7.5.0) C++ Compiler flags: -fPIC -O2 -std=c++14 C++ Compiler user flags: -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -std=c++14 -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map =/build/lyx-aqV8hd/lyx-2.3.5.2=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security Linker flags: Linker user flags: -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro Qt Frontend: Qt version: 5.9.5 Packaging: posix LyX binary dir: /usr/bin LyX files dir: /usr/share/lyx Regards, C.

Now I know how to change it. It was a bit tricky to find it in the settings. Wolfgang -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
