Solution -> delete /home/xxxxxxxx/.config/parcellite/parcelliterc -> Restart -> It worked for me

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Julian Perelli (jperelli)]

I can confirm the problem, and the solution posted by @dreamon on comment #3 works for me:

    rm ~/.config/parcellite/parcelliterc
    parcellite &

[Wolfgang Schnerring (wosc)]

I too can confirm the problem and workaround of comment #3.

[Klaas van Schelven (klaas-vanschelven)]

The workaround of comment #3 works, but the following upgrade of parcellite (not in Ubuntu at the time of writing yet) also seems to solve the problem:

http://parcellite.sourceforge.net/?p=312 (version 1.1.8)

[Dennis (deki24)]

Could somebody please provide the Ubuntu repo with the latest version?

Parcellite is not running on Ubuntu 14.10: https://sourceforge.net/p/parcellite/bugs/140/

Hi,

The bug was fixed on sourceforge and ubuntu repos were updated.
