Where is (are) the clipboard manager(s) I installed

[sillyboy]

Hi all! New to LinuxMint 13 Mate. I installed Glipper and Klipper, from thwe Software Manager, each one at a different times. Neither one could be found. The only thing I found were icons. Both said they were installed in the Software Manager. I deleted them and reinstalled them, and searched again...nothing.

Is this a common problem? Need some help here. Thanks

The clipboard showed up a few hours ago in the bottom panel. The problem now is that I can't use it. Nothing happens if I right or left click it. Looks nice, but is useless.
Can this be fixed??

Thanks

Hi silly,

I just experienced the same thing, except I installed only Glipper.

At first I could not find it (it didn't even show up in the Software Manager after installation).

Then, several reboots later, it just appeared in the notification area of the panel!

I am not new to Linux or to Mint. This issue appeared on a brand new install. This is one the apps I use every day at work and is one of my must have - install first applications.

I never had this happened before.

Just as you stated. I can now see the Icon for it in the panel, but I can not access. Left or right clicking on it does nothing.

... waiting to see if someone has a solution.

Ok problem solved. But I still don't know what happened.

I noticed I had I high memory usage and everything was running slow.

System monitor indicated that it was the caja process (108% of one of my quad core cpu's).

I was also having issues transferring some files via an external hard drive. The file manager windows went blank.

I had to force quit the processes in question.

Rebooted again (6th or 7th since the Glipper install), and the Glipper Icon is now active and working fine.

I don't know if the caja/file transfer issue (java) was related or not.

Hello Chet

I removed Glipper (or Klipper) and installed Parcellite. It worked the first time I used it, but the icon for Parcellite keeps disapearing from the panel at the bottom of the page.

I'm going to drag the icon down again, and wait to see if 2 more icons show up, as happened the other day.

Thanks...Have a great day.

So did you find a suitable clipboard manager yet?

Glipper has been working great since my last post. No problems at all. I find it to be an indispensable tool.

I'm now using it on my Mint 14, Mint 15 (laptop), PC-BCD 9, and Slackware boxes and it works just great!
