What is the package that allows copy and paste between windows? I think I need to yum reinstall it. after the 5.6 update I get the copy button when I right click - (for example in thunderbird) put when I then goto a console window and try to right click and paste the paste is grey-ed or ghosted.
Is there a package that controls the clip board or something? Thanks Jerry
Sorry if wasnt explicit. Take an even simpler case I can highlight some text in firefox and right click and copy, I then cannot paste that text into an email with thunderbird. I get the menu item actually to paste but when I select it nothing populates. I am certain I have done this in the past.
ok, clear. Yes that *should* work.
Lets leave the gnome-terminal out of the picture.
So I was wondering the if there is a particular package I could try reinstalling. But it sounds like its "built" into X so I doubt it. Anything else to try before doing a fresh install?
does it work if you log in as another user?
So long as it is the same X Server. If you log into a different console and then do a 'startx -- :1' (or :2, :3, etc.), then no it won't work. If you just do a su or sudo su in a [gnome] terminal, then yes, it will work.
