PWS not adding my password to clipboard.

Killavus commented 11 years ago

Hello.

Thank you for your magnificent work with this tool. Unfortunately I cannot manage PWS to work on my machine:

Specs: OS: ArchLinux (x86_64) Uname: Linux localhost 3.10.10-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 30 11:30:06 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ruby: MRI 2.0.0-p247 (via RVM, pws is installed in @global gemset) DE: KDE 4.11.0 (Klipper 0.9.7 is running)

What works:

Adding passwords
Listing keys
Generating new passwords

What doesn't work:

Getting my passwords.

Console log:

# assuming:
alias pwdstore='pws --filename /my/store/path'

master ✗ $ pwdstore get <key>
ACCESS GRANTED
The password for <key>
 is now available in your clipboard for 10 seconds

Klipper output when 10s period is on

It's a really great tool and I want to use it right now. I hope you'll read this issue and at least try to help me ;).

Yours, Marcin

I believe pws shells out to a cli tool to put the password in your clipboard. For now you can work around this by using the "ps" command I added, which prints the password to the screen for 10 seconds, then overwrites it.

Hey, do you still experience this issue? Can you please check, if you have xclip or xsel installed? One of the both is required on Linux systems.
