Paste error, after installing dwl (dwm wayland fork) and wayland

[Disonantemus]

• If I do (Normal mode) "*p, I get the following error (no paste from system clipboard):

  Command failed Failed to connect to a Wayland server: No such file or directory Note: WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set to wayland-0 Note: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to /run/user/1000 Please check whether /run/user/1000/wayland-0 socket exists and is accessible.

• In terminal I did check variables:

  $ echo $DISPLAY
  :0
  $ echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY
  wayland-0

• I think is related to vis-clipboard, but I don't know how to fix it.

• Workaround: (Normal mode) :xsel -op works as expected.

Please, give us the output of echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE. Do you have Wayland or Xorg based desktop?

Which clipboard manager you use? (not xsel, that’s Xorg-based).

Sorry 4 late response, I'm no programmer, and didn't get any notification 4 this.

1. echo output:

   $ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
   tty

2. clipmenu from Arch Extra repo.

3. I use Xorg everyday (with dwm window manager), but I did install and try Wayland 2 weeks ago, maybe vis got confused because of that?

4. Maybe it's not related, but I also use autocutsel (same Arch repo) 2 clone all clipboards and use them like one:

# .xinitrc
autocutsel -s PRIMARY &
autocutsel -s CLIPBOARD &

There’s something wrong there. Is this running in some kind of terminal emulator (xterm, gnome-terminal, foot, st, or something) in a graphical environment? To my knowledge only normal values of this variable are x11 or wayland (depending on the type of the graphical environment).

(after some vigorous searching over the Internet)

I see, so it is possible for xclip/xsel to work with gpm without any graphical environment present. Is it your case? If yes, then you should probably fix https://github.com/martanne/vis/blob/master/vis-clipboard to work for you.

Maybe was:

• Wayland installation.
• An update.
• Needed reboot.

Because right now I get this ("empty" as expected):

$ echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY

And vis work as should with "*p

Sorry 4 time U spend with this, I get that wasn't vis fault, just confused, maybe because some of the above.

PD: I still get this (inside Xorg with Kitty terminal, with|without tmux):

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
tty

But it's working ok and not a problem.

Weird, however, @rnpnr , I think we can close this one.
