the `nyxt-version` throws error

[mmahmoudian]

Describe the bug

Precise recipe to reproduce the issue

Running nyxt --version in terminal works fine, but doing M-x nyxt-version in nyxt would throw the following error:

WARN - Warning: Error on separate thread: Subprocess #<UIOP/LAUNCH-PROGRAM::PROCESS-INFO {1007ED96B3}>
 with command ("wl-copy")
exited with error code 1

@mmahmoudian it's a known bug, thanks for reporting. See #3101. PR #3126 will fix it.

Let me guess: you're running Xorg and have wl-clipboard installed in your system, correct?

To test the fix, you can try to build Nyxt from the update-trivial-clipboard branch. Otherwise, you may delete wl-clipboard from your system.

Correct. I'm on Plasma x11 and I also have both wl-clipboard and xsel installed.

To test the fix, you can try to build Nyxt from the update-trivial-clipboard branch.

Nice. I confirm that in the 92e041b8 (currently head of update-trivial-clipboard branch), both nyxt-version and show-system-information work correctly. (I kept both wl-clipboard and xsel installed).

Thanks 🚀

Good, closing!
