Dudek 2013-12-02 14:14:43 EST Description of problem: Gedit fails to load the Embedded Terminal plugin. At start it displays the following message: AttributeError: 'GeditTerminal' object has no attribute 'setbackgroundimage' After the start the bottom panel option is greyed out. This is because of the changes made to gnome-terminal, like removing the support for the background image and transparency. I'm surprised it wasn't reported/fixed/noticed upstream. It might be faster for Fedora users to get the fix if it was reported here first.

The fix is actually very small, not even diff-worthy. Just commenting out two lines(48,49): self.setbackgroundimage(None) self.setbackgroundtransparent(False) that used to set the now non-existent property.
It doesn't cripple the functionality and it's not a dirty workaround.
Gedit is one of the finest editors available for Linux. I have been using it for quite sometime and has always wished that it contained an embedded terminal similar to the one in Kate. Little did I realise that it is available in default Gedit installations, until I stumbled upon a blog post on that topic. All you need to do is to enable the Terminal plugin in Gedit Preferences. Still there was a catch. Ubuntu did not list “Embed Terminal” option in its plugin list. Searching for a while in Google gave me the following solution.
Embedded Terminal
Kali linux social engineering. Install the missing plugin options $ sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins Thats all! Now you can find “Embed Terminal” option in Gedit— Edit—Preferences–Plugins.
Check your choice, then enable display of bottom pane( View– Bottom Pane or just ctrl+f9). There you see the terminal now. Now you can write code and compile it easily! More interesting tips Was this post helpful? Then thank me by clicking.
