Solution 1

In xterm middle click works for me, as does Shift+Insert. There possibly are other methods, but those are the ones I just tested.

Solution 2

Give a try to ctrl+Shift+V for pasting text (which are copied from external sources) into gnome-terminal.

One of my favourite sites is Kiva.org, a micro-funding organisation that allows people to lend money via the Internet to low-income entrepreneurs and students in over 80 countries. Kiva's mission is “to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty.” With just $25 you can make a difference - and 99% of loans are paid back in full - so you can lend again and again!

Thank you so much Tim. I have been in a big trouble this morning. Your command is so simple and does not require any tool to install.
