I copied a text using Ctrl-V and then I went to the terminal and ran fpaste -io this should have pasted the content on fpaste and returned the url on the existing clipboard but the content on the clipboard remain intact.
Ctrl-V
fpaste -io
heya,
Thanks for your issue. Actually, it seems to work. The problem is that on Linux, we usually have two clip boards - the X clipboard, and usually a DE specific one. The -o flag only sets the X clipboard. So, after using this, if you try xsel -o in the terminal, it'll return the URL. If you try to use Ctrl V or right click and paste etc., it accesses the DE clipboard which hasn't been changed and won't show the URL. Can you check please?
-o
xsel -o
Ctrl V
right click and paste
The two clipboards have been a cause for confusion for a long time. You have various tools that keep them in sync etc. (parcellite is one that's in the Fedora repos), but I don't think there's much more we can do here. If we want to set both, we'll have to install one of these tools but that'll make fpaste DE dependent :(
Try this: fpaste -io --selection=clipboard - it should do what you want.
fpaste -io --selection=clipboard
FIled #27. Do check this and let me know. We'll close this if the above command works for you :)
--selection=clipboard this seems to works for me :)
--selection=clipboard
