Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/195

I would really like running spt in the tty. Unfortunately I get
Error: ErrorMessage { msg: "failed to intialize clipboard context: XCB connection error: ClosedParseErr" }
when I try to run it from tty.
Is the application itself dependent on the X server? If so would it be considerable to change that?

Thanks though for your great work so far :)

Ah sorry to hear this! I think we need a way of disabling the clipboard via the config to avoid errors like this.

X server is required for clipboard support on Linux.

There are some X server install instructions here if you'd like to get it working for now.

Thank you. I have X already installed - I just wanted to suggest it as a kind of "feature" for further development... :)

Just started using the tool today and faced the same issue. I wonder if you can check if you're outside a X session to automatically disable the clipboard.
