Version 1.3.11 will be the last one for this year. I imported another small change from Parcellite 0.9.3 (thanks again to Doug Springer), I fixed the refreshing of the indicator menu, removed the “Full history” and a couple of other small changes.
I’d like to thank everyone that helped improve clipit this year, especially Mihai, for packaging it for Arch Linux, Jason for the chinese translation and everyone else that submitted bugs or feature requests. Thanks guys!
Happy holidays everyone!
Yours truly.

Hello, I got some issue with clipIt.
I can’t start it anymore on Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64
I mean it does nothing when I click on it.
When I run it from terminal it does absolutely nothing. It worked couple of weeks ago but then it just stopped working. Terminal says nothing;
artem@linux-void:~$ clipit
artem@linux-void:~$
artem@linux-void:~$ which clipit
/usr/bin/clipit
I tried to completely delete clipit (remove, purge + removing ~/.clipit/ )
Then reinstall it from PPA (latest version) but nothing changes, it won’t start.
If I install Parcellite and it’s started. And I try to start clipit it gives me 3 conflicts of hotkeys.. when I close parcellite and start clipit again. It gives no errors but it doesn’t start as well.
Can you please help me getting it to work?

@Artem: How exactly did you install clipit? Did you install it from my PPA? If yes, I would advise you to download the source code from sourceforge.net and compile it yourself without libindicator support. The commands would be:
cdmkdir temp-clipit && cd temp-clipit
git clone git://gtkclipit.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/gtkclipit/gtkclipit
cd gtkclipit
chmod +x configure
./configure --enable-appindicator=no && make && sudo make install
cd
rm -rf temp-clipit
!! WARNING !! this will not install it in the usual folders that the ubuntu package will install it to, so for this to work properly you need to first remove the ubuntu version of clipit and then install this. Also, if you ever want to reinstall the ubuntu package of clipit, be sure to manually remove the file ‘/usr/local/bin/clipit’.
Also, please tell me if this has worked for you!

the problem is that it worked just fine (installed from ppa)
but then some day… after I restarted ubuntu indicator-icon gone. I tried to start it manualy it but it did nothing.
I guess there is something with indicator because day before clipit stopped working my gnome-panel went mad. time froze, killing gnome-panel didn’t helped. time was normal but couple of minutes later time was frozen again (minutes haven’t changed), then I reinstalled gnome-panel + all indicators message-indicator, indicator-session.. and so on… and I guess from that moment clipit stopped working

@Artem: I’d glad it worked out in the end. I don’t like to pass problems around, but in this case the problem really is with the ubuntu appindicator. I don’t like their mentality lately, as in they release stuff too soon, which isn’t ready yet for a stable distro like ubuntu, but that’s a completely different discussion.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
