No problem, but you have nevertheless a good point to remember on. When we find a solution for this, it will surely part.
So thank you.

I know about dbus. Sometimes I struggle to undestand some technical terms, but as I follow hyperbola for sometime now, am confident that there are valid reasons for not adding something.
Anyway thank you for your explanation.

It was surely not meant that I understood that as a wish. It is just to explain why we don't include it also for other readers. I'm sure you are okay and that right from the beginning.

Copy and paste is a generic way, so to have access on the clipboard there are several preconditions needed, also s message-bus and that was what I meant. Sorry for that, but with dbus we are here surely in a different field.

You got me wrong, I never proposed to include anything, this part was to clarify that the settings in the server was correct.

I am talking about copying and pasting text, not files. Is this a security issue also? As I said, not the most important thing in the world, just a minor annoyance.

Please take into perspective that "other os" using packages like tightvncviewer also include a bunch of security-issues and also especially Java. So we won't and don't include that. Also direct copying between client and server is not allowed about security. You would need then to find other ways like for example network-share or FTP-transmission, which is surely quite better done.

I found that the vncviewer hyperbola has in the repositories is: gtk-vnc
I managed to connect by running

gvncviewer localhost:1

but I could not use copy-paste between client-server.
When connecting using other os like gnuinos with tightvncviewer I can copy-paste in the server as usual. This is not the biggest deal in the word, but if someone has a solution it will be very helpful for my work.
