I am trying to copy paste text between Windows Remote Desktop and Linux Ubuntu Server LTS 14.04 with Mate Desktop.
I have seen several posts that mention killing the rdpclip.exe process (on Windows) and restarting it. I can only imagine this pertains to an old version since rdpclip.exe isn't even running and I can copy paste between Windows machines just fine. However to test the idea, I started the rdpclip.exe program but this did not have any effect.
I also made sure that the clipboard is checked for my remote desktop connection.
In case it's relevant, I setup remote desktop by first installing the Mate 2D Desktop and then installing XRDP.
I am using Windows 8.1 64-bit to remote into the machine.

Kudos to you for manually trying to set this kind of thing up. I don't know if it's an option for what you're trying to accomplish but I've always used a sweet program called Synergy.

Synergy looks like a cool product! If I had an extra monitor to spare for my server, I would shoot for it. The Windows Remote Desktop took awhile to figure out as far as connecting to Ubuntu but it works really well other than the fact that I can't copy paste text back and forth which really slows me down. – KingOfHypocrites – 2015-05-15T14:29:14.347
