Re: [gedit-list] Bottom panel and Tools menu missing in GEdit 3.8.3



Hello again,

I finally got the Bottom Panel and the Tools menu back by doing the following:

1) sudo apt-get purge gedit*
2) sudo apt-get autoremove
3) restart
4) sudo apt-get install gedit gedit-common gedit-plugins.

I don't understand why it worked this way, but now GEdit is back to normal.

Thanks for the replies,

Luís

Hm - then it's surprising that the bottom panel is unavailable.  If you run gedit in a terminal as Sébastien suggested, do you see any errors or warnings?

Hi Adam, thank you for the reply.

I have most plug-ins enabled, including the one you mentioned.

Luís,

probably you have not enabled any plugins which use the bottom panel.  In this situation, View->Bottom Panel will be grayed out and there will be no Tools menu.

Go to Edit->Preferences->Plugins and enable External Tools (for example).  Then the bottom panel should be available and the Tools menu will appear.

Dear all,

I started using GEdit 3.8.3 recently after upgrading my OS (Ubuntu 13.10). Yesterday I installed the plug-ins package, but contrary to previous versions of GEdit I wasn't able to activate the Bottom Panel by pressing Ctrl+F9; in the View menu the Bottom Panel option is greyed out and I can't enable it that way either.

Folks at AskUbuntu said I needed to reinstall GEdit, which I did (from the packages). I still do not have the Bottom Panel, but now the Tools is also gone, meaning for instance that I can't use the spell checker.

What may be causing this? Can I run GEdit on debug mode to see if I get some info on this?

Thanks,

Luís
