GPaste (native GNOME Shell clipboard manager) 2.1 has been released recently and is now available in the WebUpd8 GNOME 3 PPA.
Changes in GPaste since the previous version available in our PPA:
- image support
- uris support (files copying)
- new gpaste subcommand: raw-history to display history without numbers
- fix for the keyboard shortcut bug
- many under the hood changes and bug fixes
In my test, the new files support only worked with Nautilus (it didn't work with Marlin for instance).
To install GPaste 2.1 in Ubuntu, use the commands below:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-gpaste
Once installed, reload GNOME Shell and activate GPaste using GNOME Tweak Tool (you also need to restart GNOME Shell if you're upgrading GPaste).
Important: If you're upgrading GPaste, you'll also need to run the following command to enable the new features:
gpaste dr
Other Linux distributions:
- For Fedora, see: THIS post (but I didn't test it with the latest GPaste 2.1).
- Arch Linux: GPaste is available in AUR.
- Other Linux distributions: get the source via GitHub.

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-gpaste
If 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.
