I have (cua-mode t) in my .emacs, so that C-c is copy and C-v is paste just like most other programs on my desktop (Ubuntu, Gnome, Linux). However, Emacs does not seem to sh
I had the same problem. I added this to my .emacs file:
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t) (setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value)
Now Ctrl-C and Ctrl-v between Emacs and other applications work fine. Source: Ubuntu Forums
