Fedora comes with vim and gedit installed but the gedit installation is bare bones. You can update gedit to include supplemental Plug-ins with the following yum command as the root user:
I have an Android One with Oreo version and suddenly my Android rebooted and after that it started to behave strangely: 1) Notification section doesn't work.
It generates the following log file:
When you launch the gedit utility, you click on the
Gedit Plug-in Installation
- After you install the Gedit Plug-ins, you can configure the plug-ins by launching Gedit and then click on the
geditmenu option. Then, click on the Preferences menu option to enable the new plugins, like the Embedded Terminal plug-in.
- You have four tab options when working with the Preferences menu. The first tab is the View tab, as shown to the left.
- The second tab is the Editor tab, as shown to the left.
- The third tab is the Font & Colors tab, as shown to the left.
- The fourth tab is the Plugins tab, as shown to the left. Scroll down the list and check the Embedded Terminal and Python Console plug-ins’ checkbox. The Embedded Terminal lets you edit a file and have command line access to a Terminal session from the
geditmenu; and the Python Console session from thegeditmenu.
- Click on the View menu, and then choose the Bottom Panel menu option.
- After enabling the Bottom Panel in the Gedit menu, you can edit a file and click on the Terminal by simply clicking on the subpanel. You can see the split image on the left. There’s also a set of bottom tabs that lets you switch from a Linux Terminal session to the Python console.
As always, I hope this helps those working with gedit on the Fedora operating system.
I just installed the ubuntu 11.10, and I want to install a plugin for gEdit.
I unpacked the plugin to the following folder: ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins but in the gedit doesn't show up the plugin.

gEdit 3
The version of gEdit in Oneiric & above is v3 built using gtk+3 libraries. The plugin folder locations are slightly different than from gEdit v2.
Every plugin needs at least two files.
One file (pluginname.plugin) is to tell gedit:
- where the plugin can be found,
- what it's called,
- a short description,
- who is the author, etc.
How To Install Gedit On Linux
This file is in the .desktop format.
The second file is the actual code.
Both of these files need to be placed in either:
- the system-wide plugins directory
/usr/lib/gedit/plugins/, or - in the user plugins directory, which may have to be manually created -
~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/.
Installing Plugins
First create the plugin folder:
Now create a .plugin file using gedit N.B. these files have the format:
For your v2 plugin you already have a file called project-manager.gedit-plugin so you can rename it:
Then edit the plugin file and change the section header to '[Plugin]'
You will now see this in your gedit plugin list.
However for me it threw errors about 'import gedit, gtk, gtk.glade'.
You need to change the source code to import the gtk+3 variants - called python introspection.

2016 Update
To install all the gedit plugins, try:
This worked great on Ubuntu 14.04. I'm currently using gedit version 3.10.4.
You will need to activate them by navigating to Edit - Preferences - Plugins. Then select the desired plugins to activate.
Heather92065Heather92065I finally found where the gEdit plugins are stored. Try putting the two files to whatever plugin here: /usr/lib/gedit/plugins.
I have a 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the folder with the plugins is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/
Copying inside it the *.plugin and *.py files made the trick for me
For easy installation of additional 3rd party plugins there is a plugin installer plugin
which might simplify discovering and installing plugins.
