Ubuntu 16.04: Not recognized and/or freezing the system #19

Closed RJ-Russell closed 8 years ago

RJ-Russell commented 8 years ago

I had this this installed on Ubuntu 14.04 and it worked perfectly. Now that I have 16.04 I have it installed on two systems. System 1: On a virtual box (Win10 host, Ubuntu 14.04 guest), plugin freezes the system, and I have to reboot in order to free the system. When I remove the plugin, there are no issues.

System 2: Ubuntu 16.04 installed. The command :LLPStartPreview is not even recognized within vim.

Both systems have vim-gtk installed.

As I stated previously, when I was running 14.04 there was no issues. I am assuming there is a compatibility issue with the new 16.04 Ubuntu release. Is there something that can be done about this? or any tips/advice that I may be missing here?

Thank you

In the first case, I don't know. Vim plugins are not supposed to freeze the system, in any case, no matter how it is written. I guess there's something else going on...

In the second case, I think you probably haven't successfully installed the plugin. How did you install it?

My fix was to go back to ubuntu 14.04 on my main machine, and everything works just fine. On my laptop I'm running Arch and there isn't any issues there.

I think it had something to do with Ubuntu 16.04? Not quite sure. Considering I won't be making the switch to 16.04 any time soon again, I won't be able to test it out again.

Yes, you can wait for Ubuntu to incorporate more bug fixes before switching.
