@op,  I still can't copy/paste from any terminal I have, Xterm, Yakuake, or console. On either machine.

In terminals, copy and paste is achieved via Ctrl-Shift-C & Ctrl-Shift-V, respectively. You can also right click and copy/paste, or do Edit > Copy, or Edit > Paste.  You can also highlight the text you wish to copy and middle - click where you want to paste. This is basically what old-polack said, but I just wanted to reiterate it.

I had always known about "highlight and middle click" but I had never used it in ordinary program work.  Highlight, Ctrl C (orX)  and Ctrl V were what I always used.  But this doesn't work in Console  (Ctrl Alt F2) mode, and I never thought about the other option.  Just used redirect to get a text file.  I have been playing with this, and found that "hl & midclk" works in Xterm and Konsole (never used Konsole before).  However, I find that Ctrl-Shft C works also to copy, but Ctrl-Shft V does nothing into kwrite, but Ctrl-V does paste. CtrlShift V may work into a reply forum window, haven't tried that.

Anyhow, we live and learn, thanks for helping out guys.

Ctrl+C has it's own meaning in a terminal, (kill a running process) so one needs to add the Shift key to do a copy from a terminal. Also, to paste into a terminal one uses Ctrl+Shift+V. Outside of the terminal the standard Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V work as usual.

By far the easiest way is the left click drag, to highlight/copy, and middle click to paste.

That's exactly what I was trying to say!
