Can't get clipmenud to start on boot in Qtile #182

Closed polsust closed 2 years ago

polsust commented 2 years ago

Fedora 35 on Qtile

I have set these 2 lines on my Qtile startup file

systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY &
clipmenud &

Then when I run clipdmenu it gives me this message

No cache file yet, did you run clipmenud?

I have also tried doing the same on my .xinitrc file.

Hi! Did you actually select something to copy yet? We only create the cache file after the first selection is registered right now, although I suppose we could touch it on startup.

It is true I hadn't copied anything yet.

Yes the message was kinda confusing, it made me think the issue was from something more complicated than this.

Thank you for the help!
