Secure pasting is not working (4.1 testing)

[trbschneider]

Hello,
I’m recently experiencing some issues with the secure copy/paste feature in 4.1. I can copy correctly (clipboard manager shows the correct size of content) but the secure pasting isn’t doing anything. I’ve already tried to change the key combination but the same issue remains (copy works/pasting doesn’t).

I’ve also tried to run xev to see if the key combo isn’t picked up somehow, but both ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v are behaving the same.

I’m running out of ideas how to debug any further, so I’m looking for any additional suggestions…

A quick update:

After some desperate searching through the forum and trial-and-error, this finally helped to resolve my issue.

How i solved the global clipboard issue

I have subscribed to the forum and posting an answer to this thread. Something happened to google groups, preventing me from posting I have to admit that my postings might be inaccurate as a human being, but rest assured that such cases are completely unintentional. https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/qubes-users-error-when-pasting-from-global-clipboard/6315 On that thread I had observed that policy.EvalSimple was not present in /etc/qubes-rpc by using strace and by tailing /var/log/…

To spell it out explicitely, the solution (for qubes-gui-dom0 version 4.1.17) for was to run the following in dom0:

sudo systemd enable qubes-qrexec-policy-daemon
sudo systemd start qubes-qrexec-policy-daemon
