    Qlipper not booting

    Hi all, I am getting this:

    Code:
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
    while trying to boot Qlipper after recent upgrade to oracular

    Can't seem to find a solution on Google.

    Does anybody have a hint?

    Thanks!

    Qlipper is an application you run in Ubuntu (and similar). You don't "boot" applications, you launch them.

    What is the output of:
    Code:
    lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy qlipper

    Re: Qlipper not booting

    I have had very little education in this matter. A short (5 - 10 minutes) internet search on bad-alloc gives me the idea that this message is saying that there is not enough memory for Qlipper. It may not be referring to system memory (RAM) but to the amount of memory allocated to the program.

    Why are you loading Qlipper from the command line? It is my understanding that it is loads automatically.

    By default Qlipper should autostart and should be on the bottom right of your panel. If you need to get it running and it is not go to the menu Accessories ‣ Qlipper. To launch it from the command line run
    https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/2/2...5/Qlipper.html

    As a wild guess you could try un-installing Qlipper and then re-installing. Qlipper is a clipboard manager. It saves the user's copy actions. It may be you need to clear the clipboard history.

    I am trying to boot from command line since it is not booting automatically any more and was trying to troubleshoot.

    Tried reinstalling with --purge but the same error shows up on command line start.

    Any other path to follow? Maybe using another clipboard manager? Any recommended one?

    Thanks again for helping!

    Re: Qlipper not booting

    If you want help you need to explain a few things starting with posting the output of the commands suggested in post 2. Also, the exact command you used in your terminal to try to start the application. What did you update from and what did you update to? An Ubuntu OS, the qlipper application? What is oracular as an online search produces nothing related to computers?

    Sorry guys, I think I missed the line with the commands by reading with my smartphone.

    Do you see the error in the original post when you run
    Code:
    qlipper
    in a terminal? Does that create the message?

    Exacly. That message is prompted when I try running qlipper in a terminal.
