Description
Describe the bug
It requires some audio library which headless/WSL2 systems do not provide.
cb: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
To Reproduce
Try to install it on Debian WSL2 (possibly other WSL2 Distributions too) with the provided release zip.
Expected behavior
It just works without sound
Version
0.10.0 clipboard-linux-amd64.zip
Debian GNU/Linux 12 on WSL2
Linux LP22034 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jun 5 18:30:46 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Workaround
Installing libasound2:
# apt install libasound2
Additional context
Is headless/audoless not supported? Seems weird that it just can't start without audio. Not that I need it to make sounds anyway. Even ignoring all the audio and WSL weirdness, I'd expect it to just work on a fresh headless install, since maybe some people want to use it on their servers for admin work.
Disabling the audio with an env var did not help.
