UPDATED INFO: This is on Linux Mint KDE 18.1
1) Clipit will NOT run from Utilities -> Clipit when installed. Busy mouse
cursor, then nothing.
Ksysguard shows clipit process is running. Kill it.
2) Some work arounds... a) Install clipit. b) From Terminal run
'usr/bin/clipit'.
It will run and load in system tray and popup "do you want clipit to save
history?" Say YES.
This creates "~/.config/clipit/clipitrc" as expected. BUT...
First error “GTK-WARNING ... adwaita”. Install package
'gnome-themes-standard' to fix this.
Second error message from terminal "WARNING **: Binding '<Ctrl><Alt>A'
failed!"
To eliminate this one open clipit "preferences" from system tray.
Redefine as '<Ctrl><Alt>X'
3) Exit clipit from system tray.
4) Re-run from terminal and both errors are gone and it loads in system tray.
STILL cannot execute
from the menu.
5) Clipit will also run if you edit KDE applications (right click on start
icon). Find clipit and
"run as different user"... namely root. This results in slight delay in
reboot and I only did it
in playing around.
I also tried auto-starting clipit with a startup script and a variety of
other things but can not get it to run any which way except from a
terminal window. Bash script I made that runs fine will not load on
startup, even when clipit shows running in ksysguard. Perhaps a timing
issue?
I have abandoned it for now and am using Klipper. But I miss the
history edit function on clipit.
