X2GO: Clipboard (copy/paste) stops working from Windows 10 to Linux CentOS and vice-versa

I’m using X2GO to connect to a remote VM from my Windows 10 OS, but clipboard breaks after I try to copy/paste something from my local machine to the remote. It initially works after I start the session, but it stops working after few times of copy/paste.

The things is that when it happens, Windows clipboard stops functioning also.

Only after I restart the session, clipboard works again until it breaks.

There is no much on this issue in the internet. I tried few options suggested by some people, but it didn’t help.

The remote machine is CentOS 7.7.1908.

I’m using latest X2GO Client/Server:

Client v. 4.1.2.2

Server v. 3.5.99.25

Any suggestion for workaround?

    Just after I published my question, I was hit by "eureka" discovery and found the solution.

    Follow these steps:

    • Open X2GO Client application
    • Click "Options" menu --> Settings
    • Select "X. Org Server Settings" tab
    • Select "do not use primary clipboard" (make sure its CHECKED!)
    • Click OK
    • !!! RESTART X2GO CLIENT !!!

    Unfortunately, sometimes clipboard breaks even with these settings:

    Click "Options" menu –> Settings
    Select "X. Org Server Settings" tab
    Select "do not use primary clipboard" (make sure its CHECKED!)

    I use following workaround when this happened. I copy any text on the remote machine and than copy on my local. After that, clipboard is fine (not for long)
