I know that's a system wide installation but it's installed and working. I had to take the two files out of the /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/plugins directory and put them into the main plugins directory and it worked. I'd still like to know if there is a solution to the missing ~/.gnome2/gedit directory for installing to home directory. If anyone has the solution please post it.

How do we install a plugin to ~/.gnome2/gedit if the directory doesn't exist and we can not create the directory? Shouldn't it be there if it is where gedit looks for plugins? Is it supposed to be somewhere in user/share or someplace else instead? Thanks Hi,

All directories which name start with a dot (like .gnome2) are hidden. In Nautilus, in the menu View, select show hidden files -or- alternatively click on the button next to the crumble-bar (that displays the path). It then turns into a text-field; enter any path to go there. If the gedit or gedit/plugins directory does not exist, just create it. @Mohammed

But there are further gedit plugins available which I just fail to install, because there is no .gnome2/gedit/ directory in ubuntu. That’s fine and all.
