Have you enabled the usage of system clipboard? To my knowledge obsidian.nvim is not able to access your system clipboard unless you specifically tell Neovim to use it.

[IldenH]

vim.useSystemClipboard is set to true. Is there something else I also need? wl-clipboard is installed and works for plain text, I can copy plain text outside of neovim and paste it in neovim, but not with images.

I'm going to have to test this later. Haven't used obsidian.nvim in a while, but can't update my system for now. Please remind me after friday if I do end up forgetting.

Until I check, I'd suggest verifying if wl-clipboard properly handles images in other apps.

Other apps work fine. I tried flake updating to see if that would do something, sadly to no avail.

My config is a fork of https://github.com/LilleAila/nvf-config with some minor irrelevant modifications. LilleAila has had the same problem: LilleAila/nvf-config#2, but fixed itself for him randomly. For me however, the error persists when doing nix run github:LilleAila/nvf-confg.
