<Solved> testing GNOME -Ctrl+C fails first time, every time?
Hi
Running updated Debian testing. Noticing whenever i press Ctrl+C it fails to copy, i move over to another file directory and try to Ctrl+V and nothing comes out.
If this a known bug? Is anyone else experiencing a failure to simply copy files on Debian testing GNOME?

Happens with Ctrl-V every time as well. Like something is auto-emptying my clipboard.

If it is a known bug, then there is a bug report. If there is no report, then it is not a "known bug".

They mean that what you have is a testing version of the next Debian. There is no "Debian 9" until it's fully cooked and released.

Debian 9 has not been released, yet , so what you really are using
is Debian testing.

If you look here, you will see there is no Debian 9 yet

This is pretty vague. What desktop are you using? Gnome? What program are you copying from and to? Nautilus?Chiefahol2 wrote:Noticing whenever i press Ctrl+C it fails to copy, i move over to another file directory and try to Ctrl+V and nothing comes out.

I'm not experiencing any problems of this kind with Nautilus in Gnome. Or any other program. I'm also running Debian Stretch (soon to be version 9 when released).

Re: Debian 9 GNOME - Ctrl+C fails first time, every time???
Okay it's 'testing', my bad!
1) I click a file once to select it.
2) I press Ctrl+C.
3) Navigate to the new section in Nautilus.
4) I press Ctrl+V, nothing happens.
5) I go back and try again, it for some reason works on the second try.
Yes GNOME and Nautilus. It happens like this:phenest wrote:This is pretty vague. What desktop are you using? Gnome? What program are you copying from and to?

are you sure that the pane with the file icons is active at this point?Chiefahol2 wrote: 4) I press Ctrl+V, nothing happens.
Re: Debian testing GNOME -Ctrl+C fails first time, every tim
What happens if you use Ctrl-C to copy and then right click and select Paste?

Paste is not available, only then i Ctrl-C a second time is is available in the GUI.phenest wrote:What happens if you use Ctrl-C to copy and then right click and select Paste?
Re: Debian 9 GNOME - Ctrl+C fails first time, every time???
I'm guessing then, if you right click and select Copy, you still can't Paste first time. I just want to be clear it's not the keyboard shortcut, or your keyboard.Chiefahol2 wrote:Paste is not available, only then i Ctrl-C a second time is is available in the GUI.phenest wrote:What happens if you use Ctrl-C to copy and then right click and select Paste?
Does it happen with any other Gnome specific programs? Or is it just Nautilus?

Just Nautilus, it's the same with Ctrl+C and click to copy.phenest wrote:I'm guessing then, if you right click and select Copy, you still can't Paste first time. I just want to be clear it's not the keyboard shortcut, or your keyboard.

Definitely, i just don't know how to quantify this error or reproduce it, i feel like if i reinstalled Debian testing it would vanish forever, nobody else has noticed anything similar.you could file a bug report.
Re: Debian 9 GNOME - Ctrl+C fails first time, every time???
Neither one of those are requirements for a bug report. The report could also help you find and fix the problem even in the event that it is not due to a bug.Chiefahol2 wrote: Definitely, i just don't know how to quantify this error or reproduce it, i feel like if i reinstalled Debian testing it would vanish forever, nobody else has noticed anything similar.
Re: Debian 9 GNOME - Ctrl+C fails first time, every time???
What is meant by "3) Navigate to the new section in Nautilus". And how is it done? So I can try to reproduce the issue exactly the same way.Chiefahol2 wrote:Yes GNOME and Nautilus. It happens like this:

Re: Debian testing GNOME -Ctrl+C fails first time, every tim
CTRL-C, CTRL-V are the default Win platform commands for copy/pasting.
And also frequently used by Linux apps.
BUT... it should be remembered that these are NOT the historic Linux commands!
Which are a bit more complex:
CTRL-SHIFT-C , CTRL-SHIFT-V
I prefer the Win format, myself with the clipboard functions, and the best method is to go into the system configuration for your DE (I use KDE, and not Gnome so cannot specify which selections) - and modify the key bindings. You should also have the option to modify the ever annoying caps-lock 'feature'.
Some terminals have in their configuration options the ability to modify the key bindings.
In old Linux utils the thing to remember is to try CTRL-SHIFT-x when CTRL-x doesnt work...
Older systems also have a keyboard configuration file( whose name escapes me, and whose syntax is obtuse), but GUI system configuration files with a keyboard option should handle these better.

Okay, It has actually fixed itself since then. (Perhaps an update.)pylkko wrote:Neither one of those are requirements for a bug report.

Whatever directory you are in, move to another one by clicking anywhere on Nautilus.phenest wrote: What is meant by "3) Navigate to the new section in Nautilus". And how is it done? So I can try to reproduce the issue exactly the same way.
The bug has actually disappeared now, so it seems the issue is solved.
