Type the following in a terminal. That'll show you the last 10 thing
you installed.

tail /var/log/dpkg.log

If that doesn't go back far enough try tail -n 20 or tail -n 40 to see
the last 20 or 40 items you installed. If you spot something that
sounds like it might have to do with the clipboard, uninstall it with

sudo apt-get remove <package-name>

Substituting the name of the package. Good luck!
