Solved WINE and X11 clipboard

[mvatten]

I have installed emulators/wine(v1.6.2) to run Adobe Reader XI on it; this works (on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p16).

Is clipboard sharing supposed to work? For me, copying within wine with CTRL-C and pasting it outside wine into another X11 window with CTRL-V does nothing.

Has anyone got this to work, and if so, how?

Mark.

I just checked with wine notepad (using emulators/i386-wine-staging) and I can copy and paste in both directions. Must be either a problem with Adobe Reader XI or emulators/wine. Can you update to emulators/wine-staging?

Thanks for looking into this. It turns out it was my mistake, as I would have realised while typing my question if I had given some more detail. I had in fact only tested this with plan9port's acme and 9term windows, where CTRL-V doesn't work. In the past it did, but this was removed again because of problems. I can now confirm that, in the case of for example a Firefox window, I can copy-paste with CTRL both from and to wine and wine-staging.

In the 9term and acme windows I can use

xclip -selection clipboard -o

to recover the text to which I applied CTRL-C in wine.

Sorry for the noise.

Mark.
