Wine clipboard seperate from system clipboard

[LDAHashtag15]

Salutations,
I can't copy and paste things between wine applications and non-wine applications. I can copy and paste between wine applications though. It's as if wine and non-wine applications have their own clipboard. I have tried using Ctrl-c and Ctrl-p. I have created a new prefix. I tried other wine apps to copy to a non-wine app(Notepad, internet explorer etc.). Last but not least, I temporarily disabled copyq. Most of the apps I use, don't use Xwayland, although I do have Xwayland support in hyprland. I also use all unstable packages.

I use Hyprland 53.3, copyq, ironbar

                      ELF multilib by mapping to 64bit calls. Generally works well with wine-11.0 or
                      newer, but may or may not have a small perforamce impact or other issues. If
                      USE=mingw is set, still need the default abi_x86_32 set on
                      dev-util/mingw64-toolchain but that can be done even with /no-multilib/ profiles.
                      This can also be enabled on arm64 to allow running x86 applications via binary
                      translation. 
 - - xinerama       : Add support for querying multi-monitor screen geometry through the Xinerama API

How do you fix this issue?
If you need any more logs or stuff like that, please tell me.

Do wl-copy(1) and wl-paste(1), provided by gui-apps/wl-clipboard, work?

Not between wine and nonwine applications. I used wl-copy aaaaa, and right clicked into a wine window, and nothing pasted. When I did it in a nonwine window it worked.

Hmm. Well, i found this discussion on the WineHQ forum, "Wayland, Wine can't read clipboard", whose final comment is:

My friend solved it, using xclip and wl-clipboard, launched with:

Code: Select all

wl-paste -t text -w xclip -selection clipboard

i'd be interested to know whether or not that works for you?

First, sorry for the lateness, I was busy.
It doesn't work for me. I should mention I tried using the auto downloaded version of Ge-Proton in Lutris, and the clipboard worked. But my system installed version of wine-vanilla's clipboard does not work.

Trying xclip on it's own yields no output, or even the command you provided. Also, I can copy and paste to and from X11 applications just fine.
Also, thank you for your help so far.

You're welcome. Unfortunately, though, i don't i have any more suggestions at this point .... And since no-one else has weighed in either, perhaps you could try asking the Hyprland community about it (e.g. on forum.hypr.land, r/hyprland, etc.)? There might be people familiar with the relevant code who understand what's going on.

(And if you find a solution there, please let us know here!)

Sure, I'll try that, and if I find a solution, I will report back.

I ran a quick test using Wayfire, and when using the Wine Wayland driver, I am able to paste from the Wine notepad to Konsole and the other way around (using ctrl{,-shift}-c and ctrl{,-shift}-v).

When using the X11 driver, I see the same behaviour.

Considering you seem to have built with USE="X", I'd expect the Wayland driver being used...

Is that the only system Wine build installed and surely the one being used?

I have wine-proton installed using emerge, along with GE-proton that gets automatically installed into Lutris. Also some additional information, I tried reinstalling wine-vanilla with the X use flag to see if the clipboard would work. It did work, but I want to use wayland, not X. Also wine-proton on my system seems to have the same clipboard problem. I don't use wine-proton, and would be willing to uninstall it. I'll try uninstalling wine-proton, and see if anything changes.
