Copy to clipboard not working in KDE Plasma 6 using xsel

Hi all!

After upgrading to KDE Plasma 6, my "xsel" has stopped working. So for example if I run "uptime | xsel -ib" nothing is copied to the clipboard. I have also tried with "xclip" and the same result.

Has anyone faced this error as well? Any ideas about how to fix it?

Re: Copy to clipboard not working in KDE Plasma 6 using xsel

"echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE"
Plasma now defaults to wayland, where you can be happy if any kind of clipboard works… but xsel rather would not.

Thanks, I didn't notice that. I have installed wl-clipboard and it works now.
