Copy/Paste Not Working on Linux

To make copy and paste work reliably with AdaL on Linux, you need to install a system clipboard utility. The package you need depends on whether you are using Wayland or X11.

AdaL will automatically detect your environment and use the appropriate tool.

For Wayland Systems​

Install wl-clipboard:

Ubuntu / Debian:

sudo apt install -y wl-clipboard

Fedora:

sudo dnf install -y wl-clipboard

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S wl-clipboard

For X11 Systems​

Install xclip (or xsel):

Ubuntu / Debian:

sudo apt install -y xclip

Fedora:

sudo dnf install -y xclip

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S xclip

After installing the appropriate package for your system, restart your terminal and run adal again.
