You have been subscribed to a public bug: Ubuntu 17.10 has no functioning clipboard manager. This means that if you copy something from an application, and then close that application before pasting it elsewhere, it's lost.
For now I was able to fix this issue by installing parcellite. Also, there should be a better way to add a bug report to launchpad than fudging it like i had to, but I brought this up as a bug before, to no joy. -Denny ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:17.10.7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Oct 21 20:57:29 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-10-20 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171018) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: release-upgrade UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Incomplete ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug artful dist-upgrade wayland-session -- Ubuntu 17.10 has no clipboard manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
