Can't find the plugin in the preferences > Plugins.

[bhavitsharma]

Hi. I can't seem to find TerminatorThemes options under Plugins. I am running arch linux. I first installed sudo pacman -S python2-requests. My terminator version is 1.91. So, I used this command wget https://git.io/v5Zww -O $HOME"/.config/terminator/plugins/terminator-themes.py". But I can't seem to find terminator-themes under preferences > plugins. This is config file.

  title_inactive_fg_color = "#f8f8f2"

Hi, what's your version of python?

[bhavitsharma]

It's 3.6.5

[EliverLara]

Could you check if the file terminator-themes.py exists under $HOME/.config/terminator/plugins ?, if so, could you run terminator from the CLI and paste the output here? Please.

[FloHeinle]

@EliverLara I have the same Issue. When starting via CLI i get:

/usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/window.py:61: GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
  gtk.Window.__init__(self)
PluginRegistry::load_plugins: Importing plugin __init__.py failed: 'module' object has no attribute 'AVAILABLE'
PluginRegistry::load_plugins: Importing plugin terminator-themes.py failed: When using gi.repository you must not import static modules like "gobject". Please change all occurrences of "import gobject" to "from gi.repository import GObject". See: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709183

Python 2.7.12

[bhavitsharma]

terminator-themes.py exists in $HOME/.config/terminator/plugins/. Also, here's the output when I ran terminator -d through CLI

See output

@FloHeinle please, check if you have downloaded the correct version of the plugin for your terminator version, @ILoveAyrawhsiaNodnat please run terminator without the -d flag just as @FloHeinle has done in order to see what's the issue.

[FloHeinle]

@EliverLara I had the wrong version. Sry for that. With the correct version I can see TerminatorThemes in the Plugins menu. I also activated it but there is no 'Themes' entry in the context menu.

When starting terminator I get:

/usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/window.py:61: GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
  gtk.Window.__init__(self)
PluginRegistry::load_plugins: Importing plugin __init__.py failed: 'module' object has no attribute 'AVAILABLE'
Exception occurred adding plugin URL match: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
TerminalPopupMenu::show: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

[bhavitsharma]

I ran terminator through CLI and I don't get any console output.

[dmagen12]

Had the same problem, make sure to close any open instance of terminator b4 trying, solved it for me

[franccesco]

Installing requests in python 2 worked for me. I was also having troubles like this, everything worked correctly but I couldn't see the problem until I installed requests. Try to install with:

$ sudo apt install python-requests

That should install python requests for python 2.

[caburj]

I tried @franccesco 's solution and it worked for me as well.

[williamlfang]

It's required to install within the terminal under generic OS. This's solve my problem.

[fterenzio]

Had the same issue. The problem was the pip (I thought i was calling pip2.7 by running just "pip", but it was pip3). So I solved by run:

$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py $ sudo python2.7 get-pip.py $ sudo pip2.7 install requests

[tmacychen]

Just run yay -S extra/python2-pip in Manjaro Linux

[zwkcoding]

I tried @franccesco 's solution and it worked for me as well in ubuntu16.04LTS, and python 2.7

[yaxiang98]

if you follow the readme file and install the right plugin, it will show up in preferences after restarting the terminator, I sloved it by doing that.

[diegogslomp]

Plugin showed after install certifi package, I'm using Debian 9 and python 2.7 as default:

pip install certifi

[dady9]

For me it works after copying the terminator-themes.py and terminator-themes.pyc from $HOME/.config/terminator/plugins to /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/plugins

[mitjafelicijan]

I am also having problems with plugin not showing up.

I have installed requests.

m@turing:~/.config/terminator/plugins$ python terminator-themes.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "terminator-themes.py", line 2, in <module>
    import terminatorlib.plugin as plugin
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'terminatorlib'

I tried with on Ubuntu (19.04):

• Python 2.7.16
• Python 3.7.3

[franccesco]

@mitjafelicijan Why are you calling the plugin directly though? It should be under the directory $HOME"/.config/terminator/plugins/

[omerkurtdev]

It worked when I copied the directory /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/ plugins here. Thanks @Dady9

[AlejandroAlfonzo]

It worked when I copied the directory /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/ plugins here. Thanks @Dady9

In my case it did not work, someone help me, I already tried everything.

[omerkurtdev]

It worked when I copied the directory /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/ plugins here. Thanks @Dady9

In my case it did not work, someone help me, I already tried everything.

You must create plugins folder in /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/ directory. Then paste terminator-themes.py into the directory /usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/plugins. Check the TerminatorThemes option under terminator > preferences > plugins.

[BachoSeven]

In my case, the most proper solution seemed to install requests using pip2 install --user requests, as all the other workarounds here failed; this installs the package locally as it should be since the plugin is also in the user's home directory. Using apt-get didn't work either, it was giving me other weird dependencies errors such as no module named ordered-dict . I got it working now with the above.

[tedwards-gamesinc]

I ran terminator through CLI and I don't get any console output.

This worked beautifully for me, thank you sir!

[guoqiao]

@dmagen12 thanks, that was my issue.

[jonath92]

I had to make the python file executable: chmod +x ~/.config/terminator/plugins/terminator-themes.py
