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

Verify

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