[Bug 1852183] Re: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) with LibreOffice is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 (see comment 93)
I am sorry. I tend to agree with others. A lot of us are endearing folks. And when I say us I mean people already exposed and using a distro. Only a portion of us though, so the rest will get fed up. 99% of new users will encounter this and just can the distro guys. The majority would not even fool with it long enough to realize there's the non-productive work around of pressing ctrl+c twice every time. Most will just see it fails at something really basic and wonder what else it fails at that they don't see yet, or just get frustrated and move on. A basic function like this being broke should be a huge priority. But from what I am reading here it has carried on into the next LTS version without a fix as well... Daniel, I don't see an option to select Ubuntu on Wayland on the login screen? I will have to figure that out. I haven't moved to 20.04 yet. Since the bug was still present I didn't get motivated to. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) with LibreOffice is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 (see comment 93) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1852183/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1852183] Re: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04
Interesting you should bring that up so I played around with middle click, right click and Ctrl+V Although it can produce different paste results, it's not the issue I am having I don't think. The issue is that it's taking more than one copy function to actually copy to the clipboard to have something new to paste from some applications. Whichever clipboard that is. For example I can copy from Firefox and paste to a text editor. I can go copy text from Master PDF Editor by Ctrl+C twice. Ctrl+V or right click pastes the text from Master PDF Editor. Middle mouse click pastes text from Firefox still. I can copy new text in Master PDF Editor by Ctrl+C twice and paste the new text. Middle click continues to paste the text from Firefox until I copy some new text in firefox. The middle click one seems to work just fine to paste from firefox. One copy one paste. It may work OK in other applications too I don't know. But it apparently doesn't work at all in some others like Master PDF Editor, while two Ctrl+C's does work in these other applications. I'm dumb about this. I guess the X11 one works fine if it works at all in the application you are copying from? And the other one does not work reliably without doing Ctrl+C twice in some applications you are copying from. I don't know. But it is certainly going to be April in a few minutes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1852183/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1852183] Re: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10
I see a lot of comments about Libre and just wanted to add that it is not an office issue. This is for sure a copy issue. It just brings a lot of comments about office stuff because there is text being copied and pasted. Truth is the copy function only seems to work every other time after the first time. You can copy some text, paste it, copy some more, and when you paste it will be the first text again. Go back copy new text again, paste it and it is the new text, repeat... In some desktop environments it pastes nothing at all instead of a duplicate. I am guessing this is because some DE's empty the clipboard after a paste instead of holding until overwritten? Pressing Ctrl+C twice every time will allow pasting of the text. It's the copy function that's not working. I am fuzzy about why it does not effect everything. But in my case I noticed this issue while trying to copy text from a PDF in Master PDF Editor and also Foxit Reader and paste to anything else. Text editor, browser, Libre Calc, etc. I tested from the Ubuntu Budgie 2020-03-02 Daily build of 20.04 and the issue is still present. I also think it is worth mentioning that I tested from Ubuntu Mate 19.10 and the problem isn't present. I hope that helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1852183/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 442448] Re: gthumb photo import tool fails, error in io-library
This looks like a race condition; gthumb is, for some users, loading before the gvfs-mount command has fully taken effect. My workaround is to change the command line of the gthumb import desktop file (system--preferences--main menu--graphics--gthumb-import- tool--properties--command to the following. sh -c 'gvfs-mount -s gphoto2 ; sleep 3 ; exec gthumb --import-photos' The sleep command in the middle gives gvfs-mount time to completely unmount. A proper fix would be to patch gthumb to unmount the camera automatically before it attempts to import. A proper implementation of the above workaround might be to add an option to gvfs-mount that forces it not to return until the action has completed. -- gthumb photo import tool fails, error in io-library https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gthumb in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
