clipboard-manager Does not track

I have using the latest Fedora copr. I have restarted my computer after inserting the applet and yet it is not tracking anything that I copy. If logs would help I would love to get them, but I am not sure how I would.

To be a bit more detailed, I have restarted my computer many times, I have tried to copy many things from different apps. I am on Fedora 41 and nightly Cosmic.

Thank you contributors for your work on this project :)

Thank you, sorry for being utterly blind.

The logs are just a long list of the following, going back a few days. Seems to be each time I try to copy.

On fedora 42 cosmic alpha 7. Same issue for me.

did you install with the copr or with just ?

May 19 '25 11:05 wiiznokes

I used the copr to install it

I get the same error with building from source @wiiznokes

smtg must have changed. export COSMIC_DATA_CONTROL_ENABLED=1 use to activate this protocole before

May 20 '25 18:05 wiiznokes

I can confirm that that environmental variable is set to 1 :/

I think cosmic-comp has an issue with the zwlr_data_control_manager_v1 protocol then. Sometimes it seems to work, sometimes not? Unless this applet isn't working for anybody: is anyone on the cosmic latest release not having problems? I have a similar experience with Ringboard not working right now.

Hmm ok. I tried setting it with fish set -Ux and restarted my device again and it worked. It's possible I just wasn't setting COSMIC_DATA_CONTROL_ENABLED correctly.

I've just tested, it works for me, fedora 41, alpha7.

This might be an issue with Fedora builds, on Arch Linux this works fine, but there are other issues (like https://github.com/cosmic-utils/clipboard-manager/issues/113).

idk, it works fine on fedora 42 too. I tried to fix the linked issue without success...
