chunkthis's Issues

Error: Clipboard on X11 requires that the DISPLAY envvar be configured.

Can not use the addins from Rstudio Server (Running on Ubuntu)

Whenever clicking on chunk the code , got this error,

<simpleWarning in system2(util_test[1], util_test[-1], stdout = TRUE, stderr = TRUE): running command ''xsel' --clipboard --output 2>&1' had status 1>
