error when pasting from global clipboard

[Mustafa Kuscu]

Hi,

I have recently updated my system which apparently broke global clipboard functionality.

After reading the docs, I have checked the log file at /var/log/qubes/guid.domain_id.log which adds this line whenever ctrl + shift + v is being pressed:

connect: No such file or directory

I have repeated with debug mode enabled on the vm, however no extra information was added to that file.

The issue first emerged when I installed a few packages from testing repository. But still want to debug this further, any ideas on where to look at?

Kind Regards,

What was your update?
What were the packages you installed?
Does this affect all qubes, or specific to some, or a particular
template?
Do you see the popup when you use Ctrl+Shift+C?

Switched to testing repo and did an update a few weeks ago.

Clipboard was not working so I uninstalled those packages.

Now I am on stable repo and did a 'distro-sync'

template?

fedora-34 and debian-11, which are the only templates that exist on my system

Do you see the popup when you use Ctrl+Shift+C?

Yes

It looks like

'/etc/qubes-rpc/policy.EvalSimple' file does not exist but is being looked up at the time of ctrl+shift+V

I guess the EvalSimple development might have started since 4.1.15.

I have downgraded to v4.1.12 and the clipboard issue has gone.
