Ubuntu :: Certain Txt Files Won't Open In Gedit

Jun 13, 2010

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.

CentOS 5 :: Can't Open Cpp Files In Gedit - Couldn't Display ?

Mar 23, 2011

I have just finished an install of Cent 5.5. I loaded up a trunk for a software application I want to compile on cent, but I cannot read the .cpp files. The issue seems to be with the file extension. If I change the extension to .txt, they open just fine. My .FOR, .FPP, and .DAT files display fine, but the .cpp and .h give me an error, "Couldn't display...". What is the problem here that won't let me open these files in gedit?

Ubuntu :: Open The File In Gedit?

Jun 4, 2011

Ok, so I'm trying to do this: [URL]

The problem is, when I get to the part where I have to open the file in gedit, it says it can't open it, file not found, or something or other..So, when I manually browse to the directory '.local/share/..' there is no folder named 'applications,' only a text file. When I open it, it appears to be the home launcher file, but its in the wrong place and has the wrong name. What's going on? Shouldn't there be a folder there with my applications in it?

OpenSUSE :: Using Gedit As Root: Gtk-WARNING **: Cannot Open Display

I've been searching for a permanent solution for some time now, but the threads containing the same error message never seem to be about the same issue.I want to:I'm not trying anything fancy, all I want to do is open a write-protected file with gedit as root, like so:

Code:

# sudo gedit /usr/bin/deadbeef

..but every time I try, no matter the file, I get this error message:

Code:

I already know: I can circumvent this by going:

Code:

# xhost +local:root
# sudo su
# export DISPLAY=:0.0

General :: Use Gedit To Open File With Null Characters?

Feb 15, 2011

I know GEdit has a bug which prevents it from opening a file with null () characters in it. This is a huge inconvenience for me because I frequently have to open big log files with only a couple rogue 's in them.

Sometimes I just run a quick tr -d '' < file.log > file.log.correct and open the correct file. This is a big nuisance. I would like to have maybe an external tool in GEdit that would execute the above command. I tried writing an external tool action (GEdit plugin) using just:

#!/bin/bash
tr -d ''

Input is "current document", output action is "replace current document". But this isn't working. When I open the file, GEdit shows the familiar red warning; activating the external tool with the warning showing apparently has no effect (I think the script is being called but its input/output are not set).

General :: Closing File While Leaving Instance Of Gedit Open

Apr 19, 2011

If a file is opened from the common prompt with something like:
gedit somefile &
Is there a way to close somefile while leaving the instance of gedit still open? My idea is that sometimes I will have more than one file open in gedit. I run a script daily that updates to a log file. The log file is then opened and viewed with gedit.

Ubuntu Installation :: Strange Line Of Text Appeared On Open Gedit Page On First Use After Upgrade From 10.04 T0 10.10

Jun 11, 2011

Strange line of text appeared on open gedit page on first use after upgrade from 10.04 t0 10.10. I was reading something and copypasting the odd bit onto a gedit note: left the room, returned to find blank page except for "nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn". Then I saw that it was just the tail-end of a longer line which had stretched the page width to max, and by deleting backwards I arrived beneath my intact notes. The line was "I[my bolding]nnnnnnnnnn...nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnby v9898". I googled v9898. And there's a v9898. com. It provides something for Windows systems.

Ubuntu :: Gedit Slow When Editing PHP Files?

Jul 10, 2010

This started a while back... but I'm not sure when. Whenever I'm editing one of my PHP files it takes 1+ seconds for it to write the letter I type. I tried it on HTML and it's perfectly fine. I tried going to .gconf/apps and deleting the gedit-2 file, but it didn't help. And I tried disabling the File Browser Pane plugin and it did nothing. And one more thing, it might just be some PHP files, because about half of mine are really slow like that, but the other half is perfectly fine.

General :: Gedit On Mac Can Be Used To Edit Files Over Ssh?

Feb 4, 2011

I use a linux machine at work and a mac at home. I can ssh from my machine at home to my work machine. But the only editor that I have access to on the command line then is vi, which I don't like.

Is there a way to use gedit on my mac to edit files remotely over an ssh connection?

This page says that it can be done, but I think that it assumes that you are using gedit on ubuntu. On my mac (os 10.5.8) I don't have the "bookmark" option when I click "connect to server".

Ubuntu :: FileZilla Not Opening Remote Files And Not Recognising The Default Editor Gedit?

May 26, 2010

I just started using FireFTP instead of FileZilla because I got fed up with FileZilla not opening remote files and not recognising the default editor Gedit.

I really want to use keyboard shortcuts with FireFTP, which is possible according to the help docs on-line, but there is no option to use shortcuts anywhere even having enabled FireFTP to open in a new window. I tried it in Shiretoko 3.59 and Firefox 3.18 with no luck.

I just tried removing FileZilla and it does not appear in my list of installed apps. It appears in the full list as uninstalled but when ticking the box to install gives this message. FileZilla FTP client cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. I already have FileZilla..so how is that?
