Passpie Copy hangs for 30+ seconds

[mekhami]

Copying a password to the clipboard hangs for 30+ seconds before successfully copying to the clipboard.

I'm on Ubuntu 15.10, I have haveged and rng-tools installed (based on reading other issues where passpie hangs). I'm on the newest version of Passpie.

Correction, it does not successfully copy. It thinks it does, but nothing is in the clipboard.

Hello @mekhami
Do you manage to copy to stdout using

passpie add foo@bar --password 123456
passpie copy foo@bar --to=stdout

Does that print 123456 to the terminal?

Thanks for your contribution

Hi Marc.
Doing this, it took 6-8 seconds to add. Then copying, it took 10 seconds to prompt for the password, and then immediately printed the password. I attempted to do the normal copy to clipboard version and verified it is still hanging.

Are you using a remote repository as passpie database?

Not that I'm aware

HI,

I had the same issue. I solved it by installing xsel.
I only had xclip installed.

I don't know if it is normal or if it is an issue.

If you need more information. I'm happy to help.

I assume that this issue was fixed as by @babaorum reply

[babaorum]

Maybe the documentation should be updated ?

It says "xclip or xsel: For copy to clipboard support".
I don't mind doing a PR for that. But are both needed ? or, is xclip not working ?

Hey @babaorum It might be something with the version of xclip. Before updating the docs and code I have to be sure that it is not something with the user environment.

What version of xclip are you using? @mekhami

[babaorum]

When I encounter the problem for the last time it was on my current computer.
Right now, xclip version is : 0.12.
I checked my dpkg logs, seems it was updated / installed once. I do not know if a fix might be here.

I'm having this same issue on Windows, it goes through everything correctly, but when you expect it to be on your clipboard there is actually nothing there.

It doesn't say any message about something being copied to the clipboard either.
