Re: Problems with copy-paste/root terminal
Does ctrl-v work at all in there?

I've never had Ctrl-V work in the xfce4-terminal, but right click > paste has never failed me in MX (not sure about antiX).

Re: Problems with copy-paste/root terminal
Which version of antiX? Roxterm is the default terminal and both user terminal and root terminal right click work on my box.

PSA
Never copy/paste web-snipped code directly into terminal !

Re: Problems with copy-paste/root terminal
here's a possible cause:
a clipboard manager is not running on user's system, and after performing "copy", but before attempting to paste...
...user closes the app from which the text was copied.
another (common, but unrelated to mouseclick) reason people think "copy/paste in terminal doesn't work":
user expects "Ctrl+C" and "Ctrl+V" to work, but...
...in many terminal emulators, "Shift+Ctrl+C" and "Shift+Ctrl+V" are required for copy/paste operation.

Re: Problems with copy-paste/root terminal
Both ways (ctrl v and right click paste) work here.

Re: Problems with copy-paste/root terminal
antiX-17.a3 uses lxterminal not roxterm. Also, root terminal in the menu is urxvt, which does not do anything if you right click in it. (In next alpha upload, root terminal in menu will open lxterminal, not urxvt). That is why I asked OP to let me know which version of antiX is used.caprea wrote:In antiX-17.a3 I can see this,too.
