I have clicked on the clipboard more than once and nothing happens, no scissors.
Apparently klipper is not running.
Press Ctrl+ESC and check if “klipper” is running.
Try to run it in Konsole, do you get an error message?
Oh, and the scissors icon may look different depending on your plasma theme.
It shows as running though it has 0 percent of the cpu.
Yes, it shouldn’t use your CPU since it’s just sitting there, waiting for you to copy/paste or click on it.
Maybe its icon is hidden? Click on that green up-arrow just left of the digital clock.
If it’s not there either, just kill it (in the Ctrl+ESC dialog, or enter “killall -KILL klipper” in Konsole) and try to run it again.
If you click it do you get the Klipper menu?
the scissors are only on the default theme if you changed the theme it will be a different icon
Also Kipper has quit a few configuration so depending on how you want to use it the settings may need to change.
Killed it, and restarted from a console. It’s running but no scissors icon.
And I don’t have a green arrow or digital clock.
How do I get into the klipper configuration settings ?
Are you running the default openSUSE theme if not the icon is not scissors
When you say you started it how??
Since Klipper is a plasma widget. I don’t think starting from a command will really work.
I never had a problem since Klipper is installed by default on a new Desktop, but Try adding the widget rather then trying to restart.
Well easy if it is there just click it and select configure.
No, Klipper is no plasma widget.
It’s a normal application that creates a system tray icon.
hextejas:
Sorry, I don’t know how you configured your desktop.
Could you please post a screenshot?
And did you get any messages when trying to run klipper in Konsole?
Not so easy. As noted before, if I click on the klipper icon (a clipboard), I think it is just starting klipper again. I think this is not the icon to let me configure it. it is what is supposed to run at startup.
No messages when running in Konsole and let me see if I can figure out how to post my desktop
Well, do you actually have a system tray then?
Click on the toolbox in your panel (on the right end, you have to right-click on the desktop first and select “Unlock Widgets”), select “Add Widgets”, look for the “System Tray” widget and double-click on it. You should see the scissors then hopefully. 
Right. Apparently you don’t have a system tray, so that’s why you can’t see Klipper’s icon.
Add one, see my previous post for instructions.
Yep, that got it wolfie. Thanks very much.
Those scissors are very handy.
Silly me thought that the tray that I have is the System Tray.
Now to go look for the digital clock.
