I use the method described here:

This looks like a pretty cool method, but I ran into trouble.  I hope you  
will be patient with a newbie like me.


I am running Kubuntu, by the way, the KDE desktop version of Ubuntu.   
First, it was giving me sh: xclip: command not found for xclip.  So then I  
installed xclip.


However, it's STILL giving me sh: bash: command not found

I definitely installed xclip and when I try to reinstall it, it says I've  
already got the newest version, so I'm sure it's there.


Any idea what's going on here?

Hmm.  That's odd.  Does /bin/bash exist?  :P

You did remember to add (as a valid action for 'clip'):

echo -n %c | xclip -i

I see I mistyped below.  The error message that I'm still getting is

sh: xclip: command not found

just to be clear about it.

Then you can't have installed xclip -- or if you have, it's not in your
$PATH.  I'd recheck the output of:

which xclip

If that returns nothing, you can safely assume xclip isn't installed.

Re: [elinks-users] Forwarding links?

2006-05-07 Thread Seth Williamson
This is weird.  I don't get it.  The command which xclip returns nothing.   
I just get the prompt again.


But I watched it download and install, with the file size (a small one),  
then previously deselected file selected and then running through the  
rest of the install.


Furthermore, when I do apt-get install xclip, I get the following message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/seth# apt-get install xclip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
xclip is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

which seems to indicate that it's already there.

I don't know if I would affect matters, but I'm running klipper, the KDE  
clip manager.  I don't know what it uses, but it's up at the moment.


This is puzzling.  If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate them.  Best...

Seth

 After a lot of time messing around--I am pathetic at this--I discovered  
 that I had to specify the path to the program. It installed in a place
 not in my $PATH statement. Took a while to find it. It was installed
 at /usr/X11R6/bin/xclip.

Then your PATH is in grave error -- as /usr/X11R6/bin should always be
in it.  That's probably soemthing your distribution should fix.

 When I put the entire path in, the url pass-off function worked fine
 and it showed up on the clipboard. Thanks for your help on this, and
 also for the excellent recommendation for the page at edulinux.

You're welcome.  I wrote that page in the hope that it might be useful
to someone.   :)
