This does not work for me on UBUNTU 22.04LTS nor 24.04LTS. I get "Error: Cannot open display (null)" error on all Ubuntu systems that I have. Man xclip does not show me a workaround, although that itself (in the "I hate manpages without examples" section) seems to imply that this "solution" should work. In fairness, they don't actually state that, but the examples are clearly terminal examples. I guess they just assume I'm smart enough to "know" this cannot be done in an SSH session or at the console. (That would be an incorrect assumption. :\)
