What is the best way to copy and paste text between a full screen
console (alt+control+f1) and gnome?
Either use a temporary file or export the DISPLAY variable and use
xclip.
What do you mean about the display variable?
$DISPLAY is an environment variable which points X11 applications how to
to connect to a running X server.
How does this work?
Log in to a text console (as the same user who started the X session)
and type:
export DISPLAY=:0
Then use the following command to get text into the clipboard:
uptime | xclip -selection clipboard
