SUMMARY kdeconnectd clears the clipboard of the desktop pc permanently, but this happens randomly. watching "xsel -b -o" constantly you can briefly see the immediate clearing of the clipboard right after CTRL-C something into the clipboard. STEPS TO REPRODUCE none. happens randomly. diagnosing it with: watch -n 0.5 'echo -n "primary:"; xsel -p -o;echo;echo -n "secondary:";xsel -s -o ;echo;echo -n "clip:"; xsel -b -o' helps catching the brief moment, when the copied text is in the clipboard, but gets deleted immediatly. OBSERVED RESULT Setup: - Desktop PC Fedora atm 24.08.3 F40 Cinnamon DE - Tablet ( Gnome DE with GSConnect Fedora 41 GS 46.6.1) - Tablet ( Gnome DE with GSConnect Fedora 41 GS 46.6.1) - Android 5 - Android 4 The Androids are not in use most of the time, the tablet is in use very frequently, so my guess is, those two have been involved in the following incidents: Before we start, this happens for more than two years now from time to time, with different constellations of devices active. Two days ago, the clipboard stopped working after hours into the desktop session. Today it happened directly after starting of the Desktopsession. Because i suspected kdeconnect to be the issues, i tried to immediately "killall -9 kdeconnectd" which did not succeed as planed, because it got restarted instantly(new pid) for 20 times in a row untill i killed the kdeconnect-indicator two. ( You should really add a QUIT KDECONNECT to the system tray!). After kdeconnectd was killed finally, the clipboard worked again as expected. EXPECTED RESULT Sharing of the clipboard, not clearing it permanently.
