Did you press C-c for copy and C-v for paste (that's via the clip board
I think, possibly requiring some sort of clipboard manager in your
desktop environment)?  The other way is marking with mouse-drag-1 and
pasting with middle-mouse: that one goes via the X selection mechanism.

Hopefully one of those two will work.
