COPY/PAST is not working for applications supported XCLIP

[Golyshkin]

Actually FAR2M uses TTY Clipboard and COPY/PAST working fine in/from console and other many applications, but it's not working for some other applications for example Telegram

1. FAR2M <-> Telegram = NOK
2. TELEGRAM <-> NEDIT <-> FAR2M = OK

Is it possible to investigate how it can be fixed?

Reference: elfmz#810

1. Are you running far2m in some TTY mode (e.g. TTY|Xi) or in "GUI" mode?
2. Does far2m behave differently from far2l in this aspect?

1. Are you running far2m in some TTY mode (e.g. TTY|Xi) or in "GUI" mode?

I am running FAR2M using following created desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=far2m
GenericName=far2m
Comment=File and archive manager
Exec=/usr/local/bin/far2m
TryExec=/usr/local/bin/far2m
Terminal=false
Categories=Utility;FileManager;
Icon=far2m
StartupNotify=true

2. Does far2m behave differently from far2l in this aspect?

There is no such info, since I am not using FAR2L anymore...

OK then I assume you're running it in GUI mode. This is the mode I use 95% of the time.
It can be verified by the command lua:=actl.WinPortBackend()

Here is what I did to test this issue:

1. Installed telegram-desktop on Ubuntu 22.04
2. Tried copy-paste between far2m and telegram and it worked for me in both directions.

I'm somewhat embarrassed that I can't repeat the errors you report.

Please tell if you build far2m from sources or get it some other way.

Below are answers on your questions above:

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask me...

Yes, I am using manual compiled FAR2M version and updating it once per week.

[shmuz]

I'm trying to understand what is different between our systems.
As I'm doing the tests on the same OS as you have, I thought that maybe your far2m was different from mine because you (for example) installed it from PPA. Now that I know you build it from sources I'm again out of ideas.

1. FAR2M <-> Telegram = NOK

I had such problem Far2l <-> Telegram in Wayland: elfmz#1350 (comment)

You can check

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
echo $GDK_BACKEND
echo $DESKTOP_SESSION

and if you under Wayland you can try running from console: GDK_BACKEND=x11 far2m

Yes, you right, this issue is not reproducible for

GDK_BACKEND=x11 far2m

but re-opens the #49

[Golyshkin]

According to suggestion to check system ENV variables for FAR2M

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
echo $GDK_BACKEND
echo $DESKTOP_SESSION

Wayland is new fast developing technology and its implementation often differs significantly in different systems and in different versions of the same system. If it possible please collect info with details (OS version, Wayland version, desktop environment version etc.) for cases with and without bug and add issue about it in elfmz#1350 or in far2l new issue.

Suggesting to switch Wayland off until upstream bugs causing UX problems are fixed
