I created a couple aliases that I use to get xclip to work. I will list 
them below. The alias xc copies to the clipboard and xp will paste back. 
In a text console, the output from the xp alias will appear in stdout so 
it needs to be piped into a command to a file that can be pasted in with 
a normal editor like vi or emacs.

Here's my two aliases for xclip.
alias xc='xclip -i -d :0 -selection clipboard'
alias xp='xclip -o -d :0 -selection clipboard'
