GPaste is a clipboard management tool which comes with a command line client as well as a GNOME Shell extension. The application is very simple and doesn't support images, files and so on.
Using the configuration tool, you can set the maximum history size, the maximum element size and synchronize the clipboard with primary selection. From the extension menu you can turn the tracking on/off, which is useful if you want to copy some password, etc.
GPaste is available in the WebUpd8 GNOME 3 PPA so to install it in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot, use the commands below:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-gpasteIf you want to only install the daemon, install "gpaste" only.
Once installed, restart GNOME Shell and activate GPaste using GNOME Tweak Tool.
Important: after activating the extension for the first time, the GPaste daemon doesn't run automatically so open a terminal and type: "gpaste". Then copy some text and the "Gpaste daemon isn't running" message should disappear.
For other Linux distributions, see GPaste @ GitHub.
