Error: load selection timeout

[krzystof]

Hey,
I have a "load selection timeout" error when doing ctx.get_contents(). I am sorry I don't get much output, but happy to provide more (I am new to Rust).
I am using ubuntu 17.10, rust 1.23.
I could not find anything related to that on the issues.
Let me know what I can do to give you more information.
Cheers

I'm not sure exactly how you're using rust-clipboard, but in X11 clipboard contents are not actually stored in the clipboard. Applications make the content available to the clipboard. If the clipboard is empty, or the most recent application (process) to have provided clipboard contents has exited, the clipboard will be empty, and you'll see this timeout error (at least I do, when using rust-clipboard).

You can verify this by copying something into the clipboard prior to running your code.

See #61. That's how I wound up here :-)
