That’s not surprising, but I don’t think it’s specific to UB 26.04.  
Put your instructions in a very short Bash “script”, make the file executable, save it in /usr/local/bin, and add it to the list of applications that run at startup.

Not sure that will work under wayland. xclip is certainly an X11 tool. Think autocutsel is also.

If you want a clipboard manager, i have rewritten the clipboard applet to work under wayland. Its in welcome-budgie extras.

wayland equivalents of your X11 commands i think from memory is something like

```auto
wl-paste --type text --watch wl-copy &

```

or

```auto
wl-paste --primary --type text --watch wl-copy --primary &

```

You will have to play with the above to get the exact syntax you need

@fossfreedom

Some major remote desktop tools do not support bidirectional copy and paste of text, which is quite inconvenient. Therefore, try using these commands.But none of them can solve it.

On Ubuntu Budgie 26.04 (Wayland + LabWC), when controlling a CentOS 8.5 server and desktop environment:

1. A serious issue exists with bidirectional text copying and pasting—both operations fail completely, which is problematic since remote systems primarily rely on copy-paste commands for such tasks.

2. On Ubuntu Budgie 24.04 (X11), controlling a CentOS 8.5 server and desktop environment with bidirectional copy-paste functionality works perfectly.

Sorry, those appear to be chinese based proprietary software so I cannot test these on my production system.
