I've been with this problem for ages and finally decided to post. Installed the gedit-plugins package (Version: 2.30.0-1ubuntu1). After enabling Show/Hide Tabbar plugin, and unckecking View-> Tabbar, tabs are still there, anyone knows what may be happening? I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.10 amd64, with gedit version 2.30.3
I am trying to use the gedit command to edit my smb.conf file. It was originally working and all of a sudden it has stopped working. I have typed.. 'gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf' but it is a no go. I used the chmod command to set permissions as.. 'chmod 744 smb.conf' However I am still unable to get the file to open. If I do the 'more smb.conf' command I am able to read the contents of the file, however I am unable to edit them.
I'm having a problem with the script thing I installed to make gedit show up on right click and open with. I can't seem to get it to work properly. What I do is this; I right click on a text doc and click on scripts and then open with gedit. It opens a new text doc with "" as the file name. Any idea on how to fix this. I need to know as soon as possible because I have many files I need to use gedit with.
I am trying to make wine work for explorer. I followed some instructions on this link [URL] To follow this link, I am supposed to
cd ~/ies4linux/ie6 cp user.reg ~/user.reg.old gedit user.reg
1st and 2nd line went well 3rd line when I try to execute the command gedit user.reg (gedit:2573): Gtk-WARNING ** cannot open display I then /ies4linux/ie6# ls dosdevices(in blue) drive_c(in blue) system.reg(in white) userdef.reg(in green) user.reg
After a month or so on a WUBI install (Lucid Lynx 64bit) I decided to pass to a clean install to a dedicated partition and here I am, almost happy. I have installed 5* ( uninstalled & installed) gedit-plugins package by every means I know of (apt-get from terminal, ubuntu software center, synaptics) and I also have downloaded and unzipped the package to ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins folder. But none of the plugins is working.
I don't know if it is relevant, but i noticed the following: on my wubi installation i had installed gedit-plugins with apt-get and it had installed in the ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins folder. Now I find the contents of the package in /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins and /usr/lib64/gedit-2/plugins. I don't know if it has anything to do with anything.
I've been battling with this weird problem for a while now and since I can't seem to find a decent answer I'm hoping one of you guys can steer me in the right direction. The problem is simple... syntax highlighting is not working consistently on ".rb" files.
My user name on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is jean-marc. So if I do touch /home/jean-marc/testing.rb and then gedit /home/jean-marc/testing.rb The file comes up as "Plain Text"
If I copy the file into /tmp/ and do gedit /tmp/testing.rb the file comes up as "Ruby" If I do gedit /home/jean-marc/afile.rb and the file does not exists the file comes up as "Ruby"
If I manually set the Syntax Highlight mode on my file gedit seems to remember it. Since most of the files are generated through scripting they all come as "Plain Text" and it's definitely not the best way to edit them. Also, the files, no matter where they are show up as "Ruby script (application/x-ruby)" when showing the attributes through nautilus. Now, before someone tells use, use this software or that software instead of gedit, well I'm happy with the tool and its plugins. I'm efficient with it and I'd rather stick to it.
When scrolling down in nano with keyboard (holding "down" key), nano scrolls several lines at once each time. Is there any possibility to configure it so it will scroll one line each time like gedit does when scrolling in gedit?
Gedit windows don't aerosnap left or right. They do upwards (to maximize).
Fedora 15, Gnome Shell, enjoying it.
A classical case for "aerosnapping" two windows side by side, in my experience, is a terminal on one side and a HOWTO in gedit on the other side. This allows easy copy and paste.
Anyway, a gedit window doesn't aerosnap left and right (it only heeds to aerosnapping on the top, for maximizing its window).
Gedit-2.28.3 text editor is not working adequately on Osuse 11.2: after selecting 'Search'--> 'Find/Replace'is not feasible to write properly in the corresponding box greyed/unabled)
I don't know why but show Desktop Ctrl-Alt-D suddenly stopped working for Firefox only (in all workspaces).
Any ideas what might have caused this? Any work-arounds? (apart from Ctrl-Alt-(arrow) / switching to a different workspace - which is a fair workaround)
I have no idea how I managed this, but I am able to connect to the internet but NetworkManager doesn't show any connection. This means that until I kill it, I cannot log in with Pidgin, because it is waiting for a connection.
Do I disable NetworkManager completely or do I try to make it recognize that I am connected to the Internet? If the latter, then how should I go about? (Please let me know which files I need to show you, because I know I've messed around with a couple).
Anyway since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 when I right-click on something and there is another menu in that menu, it doesn't show up for the first time!
for example if I want to create a an "Empty File", I'll right-click on desktop and when I want to go to "Create Document" menu, it doesn't show up! so I must click somewhere else and try again so for the second time it works!!
I configured it to use IMAP to access our exchange 2010 server front end on a LAN connection. Our webmail connection is segregated behind Forefront, so it was not connecting/authing that way. Even though smartphones have no problem. (sidenote, is there an activesync linux mail client ?)
I have many root folders and several folders underneath my inbox. total mailsize in inbox is 3.5 GB without subfolders. The sent is likewise as large. And is likewise empty.
Things I checked already: View is all Folder subscription is on and local copy is on
More info: Thunderbird worky fine. But thunderbird is missing calender Tried adding lightening, but it won't add into thunderbird. Will try finding a diff add on, or if anyone knows how to get lightening into thunderbird 3.1.8 on ubuntu 10 that would be great as well.
i always use gedit to write and edit text file under ubuntu. However, i cant find the way to get some statistics, like how many times a word presents in the txt file
I use gedit for most of my document editing and reading. But if I need to open a document thats in either the rtf or doc format, I end up having to open up OpenOffice (which takes a while on a netbook). Not to mention I have to use up precious disk space with OO.o installed. So I ask, is there anyway to add support for those two documents types?
I want to install more plugins for gedit, but when I run: Code: sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins I get: Code: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 213 not upgraded. I keep reading about all of these awesome plugins I have to have and I want to use them. I tried to just download them and add the plugin to the plugin folder, but I got a permission denied error.
I just updated to 10.04 from 9.10 and suddenly gedit is saying I don't have permission to save files in an sshfs-mounted directory. Nothing I've found through Google works.
* I'm mounting using `sshfs james@of1-dev-james:/home/james/projects $HOME/projects`
* `fuse` is listed in /etc/modules
* I'm a member of the `fuse` group
* Using `newgrp fuse` before mounting stops gedit from seeing the mounted directory at all.
* /dev/fuse belongs to `root:fuse` and has `crw-rw-rw-` permission.
* Other apps e.g. `nano` have no problem reading/writing to this directory.
I am using Lucid and am having a problem logging out of a ssh -X connection after I had forwarded an X window during it. I don't know if this is the proper place to be posting such a problem but I can think of nowhere else. Please feel free to redirect me elsewhere.At google's suggestion, I tried redirecting the pipes but that didn't help. I am not sure this helps but I did a verbose output of an example ssh session. I login, open a window, close it without doing anything, and then attempt to logout. It hangs which forces me to use ^c on it.
I created the document in gedit and save button is disabled. It says "Changes to document 'Unsaved Document 1' will be permanently lost. saving has been disabled by system administrator"
know how to add a space between all the lines in a document using gedit? In order for a specific script I have to read each specific line, there must be a space in between them. And my current document has well over 1100 different things, and as such, having to add a space between each one would take awhile by hand.
I have a few .txt files that when opened in gedit give me an error "Could not open the file - gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding" HOWEVER, I can see some of the contents of the files (a few words) in the icon preview in nautilus. Also, I can open these documents in notepad (using wine) though I'd prefer to use gedit.
These might not all be txt files. I know one is directory of important phone numbers that was in some obscure format that could only be opened on a nokia phone.
I'd can't seem to find a preference to turn off gedit's default behaviour of opening a new file in a new tab. I'd like it to open in a new window, so I can view two pages of code side by side. How can I convince gedit to open a new instance?
