Clipit will not run on either LM 18 KDE or LM 18.1 KDE. Installed Clipit from Terminal (or Synaptic Package Manager). It fails to start, period. I get a mouse busy indicator when I start from Utilities -> Clipit. But the application never loads.
It was fine with version LM KDE 17.3. It also works on LM Cinnamon 18 and LM Cinnamon 18.1 as well. I suspect something with the new plasma desktop on KDE 18. But have not delved into it further.
Clipit Version – 1.4.2-1ubuntu1
System: KDE Plasma 5.8.5 (Qt 5.6.1) Distro: Linux Mint 18 Sarah
EXTRA DEBUG INFO: This is on Linux Mint KDE 18.1
1) Clipit will NOT run from Utilities -> Clipit when installed. Busy mouse cursor, then nothing.
Ksysguard shows clipit process is running. Kill it.
2) Some work arounds... a) Install clipit. b) From Terminal run 'usr/bin/clipit'.
It will run and load in system tray and popup "do you want clipit to save history?" Say YES.
This creates "~/.config/clipit/clipitrc" as expected. BUT...
First error “GTK-WARNING ... adwaita”. Install package 'gnome-themes-standard'.
THEN Switch cursor theme in Settings->Workspace Theme->Cursor Theme to 'Adwaita' to eliminate
this first error when run from terminal.
Second error message from terminal "WARNING **: Binding 'A' failed!"
To eliminate this one open clipit "preferences" from system tray. Redefine as 'X'
3) Exit clipit from system tray.
4) Re-run from terminal and both errors are gone and it loads in system tray. STILL cannot execute
from the menu.
5) Clipit will also run if you edit KDE applications (right click on start icon). Find clipit and
"run as different user"... namely root. This results in slight delay in reboot and I only did it
in playing around.
