Bug ID: 508069
Summary: KSystemClipboard on Gnome/Wayland
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kguiaddons
Version First 6.17.0
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Flameshot uses KSystemClipboard provided by KGuiAddons. After porting to Qt6
our clipboard functionality stopped working on gnome + wayland. This error is
reported:
```
kf.guiaddons: Could not init WaylandClipboard, falling back to QtClipboard.
```
I then wrote a very minimal working example to demonstrate this bug. If this
code is executed on Gnome + Wayland the same error is printed to the terminal.
Unfortunately falling back to QtClipboard does not work on gnome + wayland. Is
this user error on my part with how we are using the clipboard or is there an
underlying issues?
Note, this did not happen before our Qt6 port.
```
#include <QApplication>
#include <KSystemClipboard>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QGuiApplication>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
QApplication app(argc, argv);
auto clipboard = KSystemClipboard::instance();
if (!clipboard) {
qDebug() << "Failed to get KSystemClipboard instance";
return 1;
}
qDebug() << "KSystemClipboard initialized successfully";
return 0;
}
```
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Compile minimal example shown above
2. See that the error is printed when run on gnome + wayland
OBSERVED RESULT
Error is reported and Qtclipboard is used as a fallback.
EXPECTED RESULT
No error is reported and clipboard
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Arch linux, Gnome, wayland
