Linux Notes

GoPaste supports Linux x64 systems with X11.

Requirements

• Display server: X11 (Wayland support is limited)
• System tray: A desktop environment with system tray support (e.g., GNOME with AppIndicator extension, KDE, XFCE, i3 with status bar)
• Accessibility: Required for simulated paste (xdotool or equivalent)

Installation

1. Download GoPaste_x.x.x_linux_x64.tar.gz
2. Extract and run:

   tar -xzf GoPaste_x.x.x_linux_x64.tar.gz
   cd GoPaste
   ./GoPaste

Auto-Start

To have GoPaste start with your session, add it to your desktop environment's startup applications, or create a systemd user service:

# ~/.config/systemd/user/gopaste.service
[Unit]
Description=GoPaste Clipboard Manager

[Service]
ExecStart=/path/to/GoPaste
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Enable with:

systemctl --user enable --now gopaste

Known Limitations

• Wayland: System tray and global hotkeys have limited support on Wayland. Running under XWayland may work.
• Paste simulation: Requires X11 tools. On some minimal setups you may need to install xdotool.

Coming Soon

AppImage, .deb, and .rpm distribution formats are planned for a future release to improve Linux installation experience.
