Preview can't be deactivated in the list of plugins #51

Closed ralf3u closed 4 months ago

ralf3u commented 5 months ago

Steps to reproduce open Geany in the menu: Tools, Plugin Manager search for Preview deactivate Preview

Result Geany is crashing

System Lubuntu 23.10

ralf3u commented 5 months ago

Just for information: The plugin Lua Script can be deactivated.

xiota commented 5 months ago

On my computer, using Geany 2.0, both plugins load and unload as expected. Ubuntu 23.10 uses Geany 1.8, so may have a bug that has already been fixed.

ralf3u commented 5 months ago

So, I will test the issue with Lubuntu 24.04. Geany 2.0 should be part of it. I'll leave the issue open until then.

I am somewhat able to reproduce this now, but do not know the reason for the crash.

xiota commented 4 months ago

The problem seems to be that link-time optimization is now enabled by default. There's a new build 0.0.7 in the PPA that should have it turned off. Let me know if that fixes the crashing.

Looks like the PPA might have stay around a bit longer than I'd like...

I tried makedeb. I like it a lot. Much easier than traditional debian packaging. But I forgot that building anything on debian requires installing lots of -dev packages.
I also tried setting up a github workflow to make debs. In Actions, you can see the successful jobs and download artifacts (bottom of the summary page for each completed job). A problem is github is limited to LTS releases only. Right now, 20.04 and 22.04. Probably in several months, 24.04 will be added. Also, they aren't automatically added to the releases page.

Let me know if that fixes the crashing.

Now I can deactivate the plugin Preview in Geany 1.38.

That was today the answer in the terminal after an update:

W: Failed to fetch https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/xiota/geany-plugins/ubuntu/dists/mantic/InRelease  Could not connect to ppa.launchpadcontent.net:443 (2620:2d:4000:1::81), connection timed out Could not connect to ppa.launchpadcontent.net:443 (185.125.190.80), connection timed out
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Probably temporary connection problems. Nothing I can do about it. You can try downloading the files from the PPA webpage:

Probably temporary connection problems.

Right. Today there is no problem during updating.

@ralf3u FYI, PPA is updated with following...

Geany and Geany Plugins 2.0 for Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and 23.10.
Plugins rebuilt, including for Ubuntu 24.04.

ralf3u commented 4 months ago

Geany and Geany Plugins 2.0

I think that you mean Geany 2.0. Indeed now in Lubuntu 23.10 I can see that it is Geany 2.0. So, I will test switch-views in Geany 2.0 the next days in Lubuntu 23.10.

ralf3u commented 4 months ago

PPA is updated with following ... Geany and Geany Plugins

Does that mean that I don't need to execute the following line in the terminal any more because when I install the PPA, there will be automatically Geany and Geany Plugins?

sudo apt install geany geany-plugins

xiota commented 4 months ago

I think sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade should take care of it.
