Ubuntu :: Gedit Syntax Highlighting Not Working Under Home Dir
Nov 9, 2010
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.

The site that used to host the language spec file for .erb/.rhtml for ruby/rails syntax highlighting is no more.If someone could attach the file for gtksourceview-2.It's located in /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/ language-specs/ and probably called rhtml.lang

I can't get work terminal syntax highlighting for other users then root.To get the same result I've created /home/user/.bashrc and added the above options.I've also tried to override LS_OPTIONS in system-wide: /etc/bash.bashrc.In all cases is the highlighting working only for root.

I have installed FEDORA 14 in my machine. I am not able to have the syntax highlighting in the xemacs. I tried a file.f90 for a FORTRAN 90 program . I tried to flag the syntax highlighting in this buffer without success.
Code:
rpm -q xemacs
xemacs-21.5.29-15.fc14.x86_64

I'm working on reorganizing my .bashrc. I moved my aliases to .bash_aliases (which is sourced by .bashrc, but I can't figure out how to enable syntax highlighting for this file. vim seems unable to figure out what language the file is in. It works fine for .bashrc.

On this Red Hat Box that I am using there is no .vimrc file for the user root. So, I created one and entered only one line to highlight syntax with colors when I am writing scripts in PHP and Bash. But it is not working.
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# cat ~/.vimrc
syntax on
[code]....

I'm using a dark theme (Obsidian Coast) which is making things a pain to read using the default LaTeX syntax highlighting and color schema of Kate. I can edit the schema just fine, but that does not affect the colors of certain highlighting features, such as the color of expressions which fill in the ellipses of "section{...}", which turn out black or "egin{...}" which turn out dark blue.
Is there any way to fine-tune the highlighting features of a particular kind of markup (LaTeX in my case)?

I am looking for a text editor that does 1) syntax highlighting2) code folding3) it would be a bonus if I could set which macros were defined and it would show me the source I have tried geany, and codeblocks. Both incorrectly code fold around preprocessor #ifdef and #endif. The gedit plugin doesn't seem to work at all

How can I tell emacs that a file type that it doesn't recognise should have the same syntax highlighting as one it does?
Xfig produces .pstex files which I want to be highlighted like .ps/.eps

I know it's possible to change the $ user@hostname colors, but is it possible to color different things? Could I make all numbers/integers a certain color. Or set certain keywords to be bold?

I've been looking though different editors for one that has good printing support. Ideally it should be able to print C++ code with line numbers, syntax highlighting, multiple columns per page, customizable fonts and sizes and a print preview feature so that I can make sure it looks right before sending it to the printer. It appears that notepad++ had at least some of these features, but it is not available on linux. The best I could do so far is to copy/paste the output of 'cat -n foo.cpp' into oowriter and format it into two colums. I don't get synax highlighting though and I have to manually replace tabs with a few spaces as well as some excessive leading spaces before the line numbering.

I've been trying to extend gedit with a syntax highlighting capability for GAMS (http:url....). I googled about it and could only find it for vim and I didn't quite like it.Here's what I've done:
(1) I created a file "gams.lang" and placed it in "/usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/"
(2) I created a file "gams.xml" and placed it in "~/.local/share/mime/packages"
(3) I ran the command "update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/"
I observed that a test file names "test.gms" was correctly identified as a GAMS source file when I opened it in gedit; however, no highlighting is done.I believe there must an error in my gams.lang file,The files are given below:
"gams.lang"
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--[code]......

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.

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.

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).

When ever i open vim, i get the error that the following error: E484: Can't open file/abcd/configFiles/vim/syntax/syntax.vim There was a .vimrc file in my home folder that i have removed.
Still i keep getting the same error. Presently in my home folder there is no .gvimrc or .vimrc file.
But still i keep getting the same error. I am not too sure where this file is mentioned.
Background info: The SHELL has been changed from tcsh to bash Earlier i had created a .vimrc file in tcsh, i have removed the .vimrc in bash SHELL.

I am a Novell (now defunct) CNE tring to learn Linux and am having a lot of trouble finding out where the WB 6-6 is wrong in the syntax for adding local4... the the syslog-ng config file. In the instructions there are discrepancies between commas and simi-comma, they are both in the statements in no particular order. there is no pattern to them. Here is what the book shows:
filter f_local4debug { level(debug) and facility(local4); };
When I try to input this in the Gnome terminal window to try and find out where it goes wrong I get the following: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "(" If I can get the correct syntax I belive I can use the info to get past the rest of this portion of the lesson. I am desperate to learn Linux as the only jobs out there for a Novell CNE are migrations to MS, which really sucks, since MS really really sucks.
