Waydroid pyclip clipboard issues

Bazzite
1

Hi all, I recently moved from Fedora Kinoite to bazzite.gg (Liking it so far :slight_smile:
Note i didn’t do a rebase as I needed a fresh install for secure boot.

Waydroid in Kinoite had working clipboard sharing.

But now I get this:

waydroid show-full-ui
[15:55:30] Starting waydroid session
[15:55:31] Skipping clipboard manager service because of missing pyclip package

Waydroid Telegram suggests installing pyclip / wl-clipboard
I tried to install pyclip but:

rpm-ostree install pyclip
error: Packages not found: pyclip

and wl-clipboard is already present in bazzite

do i need to add a repo for pyclip?
Is this the official github of pyclip?
Is the package called something else in bazzite/fedora repos?

Heya,
Welcome to the bazzite/ublue community.

I may not be the best to answer the question but will give it a shot.

pyclip is typically a pip install

from terminal “python -m pip install pyclip” should install the needed package if that is all waydroid needs. My current gpu on this system will not let me test unfortunately.

Hi thanks for the welcome and thoughts :slight_smile:
I ran python -m pip install pyclip and it worked, thanks!

Thing is on Fedora Kinoite I didn’t need to do pip installs I just did

rpm-ostree install waydroid

But on bazzite waydroid is included so running the above doesn’t work since it’s already installed. On Kinoite I imagine that one command would have installed pyclip. So I expected the same of Bazzite. But I’m also surprised that since they ship with Waydroid, that pyclip isn’t included by default.

BTW I posted this issue in Github too I’ll update that issue to ask for pyclip by default.
