Here's the output with flatpak run com.github.hezral.clips --debug After copying some text

Are you running it on X11 or Wayland?

[muhammadz0]

On Wayland via XWayland

[hezral]

It doesn't work on wayland. Haven't tested on xwayland either

[muhammadz0]

well it did work sometime ago

[muhammadz0]

Well, I reinstalled the app and elementary SDK, and now it doesn't show the error with --debug Only this, after copying text in Firefox (system):

Current clipboard offers formats:  12
0 text/x-moz-url-priv
1 text/plain
2 text/plain;charset=utf-8
3 text/_moz_htmlinfo
4 text/_moz_htmlcontext
5 text/html

[hezral]

so, you're running it on xwayland right. technically it would work since thats x11, try running it without the --debug and see what errors are showing up.

[muhammadz0]

Ah, again:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/share/com.github.hezral.clips/clips/cache_manager.py", line 311, in update_cache

[hezral]

thanks that narrows it. hmm are you trying to copy something in WPS Office? I havent update this part of the code for awhile and it worked when i tested it last time

[muhammadz0]

nope, Firefox

[hezral]

hmm for all apps too?

[muhammadz0]

yep, just tried Chromium (flatpak) and Nautilus

[hezral]

Ok, I'll try to reproduce this. Can you share your setup? OS, desktop environment

[muhammadz0]

Fedora Linux 36 64-bit, GNOME 42.3, Wayland

[hezral]

Thanks

[hezral]

Can you try moving the cache folder ~/.var/app/com.github.hezral.clips somewhere else and restart the app?

I just tried on Fedora 36, Gnome 42, X11 and it's working fine

[muhammadz0]

hmm, didn't work. I had already tried that multiple times. Also tried resetting the permissions. Didn't work

[muhammadz0]

I tried it in X11 session, and it did work, however still the same on Wayland. Can you try on Wayland?

[hezral]

Wayland won't work as-is for this app. I'm working on a gnome shell extension version of Clips which will work on Wayland and X11

[muhammadz0]

Sorry, I meant via XWayland

[hezral]

Which specific xwayland app did it worked with? Firefox, Chromium, Nautilus are all wayland not xwayland.

In any case, it wouldn't have worked to begin with really since the backend fully relies on X11 and won't start in Wayland.

[muhammadz0]

ah sorry mb. Actually now that I remember, I used Code-OSS with XWayland, and it was the only app I used for Clips I think. Sorry my bad
