Copy to clipboard not working

[turijs]

• GitLens Version: 8.4.1
• VSCode Version: 1.24.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04

None of the methods for copying a commit ID to clipboard are working for me. I came across issue #35, but I do have xclip installed and I am not getting any error message. Any help would be appreciated!

And thanks for this awesome plugin btw!

In case it helps, I was also experiencing the same issue with:

• GitLens Version: 8.4.1
• VSCode Version: 1.24.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04
• xclip Version 0.12

I opened the VS Code developer tools and saw the following errors were being written to the console after attempting to copy a commit ID to the clipboard:

Running sudo apt install xsel as suggested in the error message fixed the problem for me.

Thanks for the tip! This solved my issue.

There is something else going on as xsel should be bundled. So either my bundling is wrong or this is just some edge case that needs a much better error message

[turijs]

In that case, let me know if there is any info I can provide to help track this down.

I'm still getting this with [email protected] and [email protected] when trying to copy commit id or message:

Installing xsel did fix this though.
