Yes, xfreerdp is constantly breaking clipboard... Having such a second clipboard sync mechanism looks easy at first glance. But you somehow need to integrate with existing clipboard, and that's where the problems begin (again).

Well, in principle it is simple. I reality it's not. The problems are manyfold: - there are several types of clipboard (PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CutBuffers). Not all platforms support all types. So you have to sync them somehow which - in the past - proved to go wrong sometimes. - there are differences in the type of clipboard content that can be handled on different platforms - we have not yet included the INCR message type yet so the maximum clipboard size is currently limited - clipboard managers offten disturb the communication at some point. Some platforms and frameworks include clipboard managers that cannot be disabled - bugs in X servers do not help - debugging is difficult/complicated as always multiple windows/clipboard owners are involved - there's also a multi-stage protocol between nxagent and nxproxy for clipboard transfer - understanding the existing clipboard code is complicated. Anyone is invited to help here! Uli ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
Re: [X2Go-User] Clipboard doesn't work?
The same way FLOSS syncthing keeps a text file in sync across N different systems, OSs, etc? I mean, it's usually a specialized product, but being as both are FLOSS, I guess someone could spend time to integrate either the tech just for clipboard, or hack something together with a text file that is synced and then the X2Go client puts whatevers in the text file into the clipboard on the computer it's running on? Of course, that's a lot of work, and I'm just being slightly flippant. I often work around clipboard sync issues (hello freerdp) with a shared text file that I overwrite wherever and then copy paste "locally". -- James Pulver CLASSE Computer Group Cornell University On 3/27/19 11:32 AM, Stefan Baur wrote: Am 27.03.19 um 16:30 schrieb Ulrich Sibiller: You did notice that he said he's trying to mirror a physical display, right?

Please let us know which edition of Windows you are using, the
drive/directory where you *tried* to install X2GoClient, and the
drive/directory where X2GoClient believed it would find VcXsrv.

Hmm, maybe clipboard is disabled in /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options. Please check!

What path did the installer put into the registry?
Another question: do you run some kind of clipboard manager on Linux
and/or Windows?

So I guess I'm supposed to simply do an Edit->Copy in the server session
window of - let's say - Linux' Leadpad and an Edit->Paste in Windows' native
Notepad then, for example? Does not work.

I'm using this one.
Trying to use the shipped Vcxsrv results in a client start-up error ("Can't
start X.Org-Server. Please check your installation.") which immediately shuts
down the client disabling to change the setting again. :-(
After fixing this problem in the registry (wrong default path to vcxsrv.exe
by the installation routine) the problem persists. Clipboard does not work.

Re: [X2Go-User] Clipboard doesn't work?
There a occasional problems with clipboard when using Windows. This is most like a bug in the Vcxsrv we ship which has not been identified yet. However, I never heard of the clipboard not working at all. You could try using the built-in Xserver of Mobaxterm and check if the problems persist. Uli Ingo Brückl schrieb am Mi., 27.
