[solved] gedit plugins fail to load

Not all plugins fail to load, just snippets, external tools, ....

# gedit --version
gedit - Version 3.8.3

Is that a known bug or the plugins just outdated?

Re: [solved] gedit plugins fail to load

I installed gedit & gedit-plugins, checked the boxes for the plugins you mentioned and ... nothing bad happened.

$ gedit

** (gedit:25335): WARNING **: Could not load theme icon user-bookmarks-symbolic: Icon 'user-bookmarks-symbolic' not present in theme

** (gedit:25335): WARNING **: Could not load theme icon user-home-symbolic: Icon 'user-home-symbolic' not present in theme

** (gedit:25335): WARNING **: Could not load theme icon drive-harddisk-symbolic: Icon 'drive-harddisk-symbolic' not present in theme

** (gedit:25335): WARNING **: Could not load theme icon system-file-manager: Icon 'system-file-manager' not present in theme

Next time I load gedit, the boxes remain checked and I still have no issues.

I don't know a thing about gedit, so if loading the plugins means something else than just ticking them in the preferences, you will have to spell it out for me :-)

Re: [solved] gedit plugins fail to load

No nothing special just fireing up gedit from terminal, nor did I hack around in any folder. I am bit puzzled on how to fix this. I already tried reinstalling via `pacman -S gedit-plugins python` - with and without `--force`

Re: [solved] gedit plugins fail to load

Solution:

change

LANG=C

to

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/locale for details
