Hi,
I've no idea why that would happen, but two suggestions: 1) To try to diagnose the problem, set Settings > Preferences > Misc > Log to Debug or Developer, then recreate the problem and look at the log file. 2) Try the unofficial version that we supply; it works for me: https://docs.codelite.org/downloads/oldDownloads/Repositories16/#ubuntu-debian

Hi there, and thanks for getting back to me.
Note all the entries [Main] Plugin <plugin name> is not enabled
towards the bottom of the log. I have no clue what to make of this log output, but maybe you can find something suspicious in it?
About your second suggestion: I'm already using the inofficial version you supply, that's what I meant when I said I installed CodeLite 16.0 through the ppa for Ubuntu focal fossa. In the official package in Ubuntu's repo (that being version 13. the "Manage Plugins" menu is also broken, but this time it won't even show me any plugins to select:
Kind Regards,

I don't see anything especially helpful there (though I'm not the expert). [19:23:16:383 WRN] [Main] Plugin AutoSave is not enabled et al is interesting, but not afaik diagnostic.
I've attached a screenshot of my focal. Presumably you don't have the 'git', 'cscope' etc entries.
I suggest you (close CodeLite, then) temporarily rename your .codelite/ and then restart. Does that solve the problem?
Thanks for the suggestion, deleting the ~/.codelite
directory did in fact fix my issue.
It seems the official Ubuntu package ships with a config-related bug that prevents the user from using plugins. Uninstalling the package via apt purge codelite
does not remove the broken config files in ~/.codelite
, which causes any further installs of CodeLite to fail enabling plugins as well.
So the real issue lies in Ubuntu's 13.0.0 package rather than the 16.0.0 ppa package I installed afterwards. Should I try to update my initial post with this information?
Thanks for sticking with me, and warm regards Thomas Fritz
Uninstalling the package via apt purge codelite...
That probably wouldn't have removed the plugins which, for the official CodeLite, are packaged separately in codelite-plugins
Should I try to update my initial post with this information?
I shouldn't bother. It's not a long thread, so anyone interested can easily see the outcome.
What happened?
I installed CodeLite through the ppa for Ubuntu focal fossa and when I enable any plugins and restart the program, all plugins are disabled again:
