   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • Copy shows copied popup but clipboard remains unchanged on Linux terminal #24713: "Copy shows copied popup but clipboard remains unchanged on Linux terminal" — same symptom ("Copied to clipboard" shown but clipboard not updated on Linux)
   • Ubuntu terminal opencode can't copy the text in the window, "Copied to clipboard" showed #10175: "Ubuntu terminal opencode can't copy the text in the window, 'Copied to clipboard' showed" — nearly identical environment and symptom (Ubuntu terminal, copy notification appears but paste fails)
   • Copy and Paste behaviour under Linux #4754: "Copy and Paste behaviour under Linux" — general Linux clipboard copy issue
   • Copy To Clipboard is not working #4283: "Copy To Clipboard is not working" — same core issue

   If your issue is already covered by one of the above, please add a thumbs-up reaction there rather than opening a new report. If you believe your case is distinct (e.g. specific to GNOME Terminal or Ubuntu 24.04 in a way not covered), please note what makes it different.

   we investigated this issue with AI and found reasonable workaround: in wayland environment it should be first:

   apt install wl-clipboard
