gedit-developer-plugins on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander

Solution 1:

I'm afraid things may depend on the developer responsible for the plugin. But, you could first try the solution presented here: Problem With Gedit Plugins and Python3 on 13.04.

I updated to Lubuntu 13.10 and installed the gedit version available in the software center (v 3.8.3). Then I tried to install doublesave and markdown-preview both of which worked for me in Lubuntu 13.04. I ran into the same problem as you and changing Loader= as suggested in the first link didn't help me.

I did an internet search and concluded that the issue maybe something that the individual plugin developer has to modify unless the Loader= fix works for you.

Solution 2:

It seams that the old plugin (0.5.15) use the python provided by old gedit (3.6)

it's possible to get the stable plugins (1.1.0) that with with gedit (3.8.3) in saucy at https://launchpad.net/~sinzui/+archive/ppa

Just run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sinzui/ppa
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install gedit-developer-plugins

And then you can turn the GDP plugins on.

EDIT for UBUNTU 14.04

To enable GDP Format plugin you must install python-pocket-lint, just run:

sudo apt-get install python-pocket-lint

If you are in a hurry, just do everything in one command:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:sinzui/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install gedit-developer-plugins python-pocket-lint
