What outputs when you run systemctl --user status ringboard-x11
? It's probably just not started.

Ah shoot, that looks like a configuration bug then. I just pushed an updated that will show the address it's trying to connect to in egui. You'll want to run cargo +nightly install clipboard-history-egui --no-default-features --features x11
to update (or just install https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update and run cargo install-update -a
to handle things automatically). Then open egui, try to paste, and now the error message should say which file it's trying to use. Then run ls /tmp/.ringboard
and we'll see what file ringboard-x11
is using (it'll be something .paste
).
ls /tmp/.ringboard
Confirming that this is solved. the ls command gives the following output
Username.ch Username.egui-sleep Username.paste
deeply appreciate your speedy response. This is the first time I'm installing and using a rust app and i'm still learning the lingo.
Great to hear!
I am running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Gnome 46 with X11 and after following the instructions on the github page, I got the gui up using egui, but am unable to paste anything, this error shows up if I click on any item.
Error: an I/O error occurred Details: Core( Io { error: Os { code: 111, kind: ConnectionRefused, message: "Connection refused", }, context: "Failed to send paste entry to paste server.", }, }
