VNC Clipboard not working

[Azulath]

On my Manjaro notebook my clipboard is not shared between client and server which is sort of odd. Let me explain why.

I have a bit of a troubled relationship with VNC in general, as you can see here:

GNOME VNC black screen with cursor

This thread is a follow-up to this one here: After getting vnc to work again, I still appear to have an odd issue with it. As the title suggest, whenever I connect I just have a black screen with a cursor, nothing else. I tried setting [xdmcp] to Enable=true in /etc/gdm/custom.conf but to no avail. I have this problem with or without a display attached, even though I am sometimes able to connect when a display is attached. Without a display I got an error message stating that the request has been rejected. Which is why I created a 10-headless.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with the following data: Section "Monitor" Identifier "dummy_monitor" HorizSync 28.0-80.0 VertRefresh 48.0-75.0 Modeline "1366x768" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "dummy_card" VideoRam 256000 Driver "dummy" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "dummy_screen" Device "dummy_card" Monitor "dummy_monitor" SubSection "Display" EndSubSection EndSection Which also makes me wonder, is this supposed to work under wayland? Executing loginctl show-session 4 -p Type says Type=x11, but my /etc/gdm/custom.conf has the following data: # GDM configuration storage [daemon] AutomaticLogin=alex AutomaticLoginEnable=True # Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg WaylandEnable=true [security] [xdmcp] Enable=true [chooser] [debug] # Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging #Enable=true So, I’m a little bit lost here and any help would be appreciated.

Unable to activate GNOME screen sharing

I’ve discovered a solution on the Manjaro forum. Since Upstream considers vino deprecated in of favour of gnome-remote-desktop , I had to install gnome-remote-desktop instead. To enable gnome-remote-desktop I did the following: Uninstall vino Verify that gnome-remote-desktop is installed Modify /etc/gdm/custom.conf and put WaylandEnable=true in the [daemon] section Reboot Enable screen sharing again.

A while ago, I had vinoserver running as my VNC server without any issues, but after an update it stopped working (no idea why). Furthermore, I was also gone from GNOME’s settings.

I solved this by installing x11vnc and ssh’ing into the notebook first to execute x11vnc -forever. (VNC didn’t start automatically, even though I added the tasks.)

Now I noticed that VNC runs when the notebook is booted, but the clipboard is not shared. I’m also not entirely sure which VNC service is running - I tried ps aux | grep vnc and ps aux | grep vino but I couldn’t find either of them.

Currently, my main issue would be to get VNC’s clipboard working again. Any help would be appreciated.

Could it possibly app armor or SELinux causing you issues. IF you tail dmesg and try to use the clipboard, see what happens.

Thanks for the input, but as far as I know, SELinux isn’t enabled on Manjaro to begin with…
