leads to:

I might add I use Ubuntu in german language setting, but my useraccount name uses standard english alphabet characters. I had weird stuff going on with wrong codings, so I mention that to make sure.

Looks like you have an old version of the plugins living on your system.
What version is your plugins package? Did you build from source or use a
package?

Ah, there where still the 0.6 plugins installed and I saw there is a tar for the 0.8 source. Thanks for pointing that out, I will compile those and am sure that will fix it.

I also had this problem installing the gnome-do-plugins package indeed solved it.

I'm having this exact same problem (same hardware too) but I can't figure out what you guys did to fix it. I'm a newbie of sorts, can anyone how to fix this in more detail? I went into the gnome-do folder inside share and there was a gnome-do 0.6 plugins folder...is that the problem? do I have to remove that? If so, how?

Its a package maintainer problem.
Basically you downloaded gnome-do .8 from the source or deb, but when installing the gnome-do-plugins thru apt it pulls the outdated .6 plugins.
download the appropriate version from https://launchpad.net/do-plugins/+download

This is not the case, it's entirely a user issue. In the biz we call these
ID-10t errors. If you have the repository in your sources, then there is a
0.8 plugins package; unless you're on an unsupported system, in which case
no such package exists. The 0.8 AMD64 plugins are in the PPA, they work fine
on all arches. It is only core that needs special treatment due to the
launchpad mono/buildd/xen bug (which should be fixed soon).

On AMD64, I just upgraded the do-core package from 0.6 to 0.8 with the deb since it's not in the PPA. However, subsequent updates does not automatically grab the do-plugins from apt. I have to manually grab do-plugins from apt again (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnome-do-plugins) in order to see the 0.8 plugins.

Hope that helps!

thanks everyone for their input. I was able to fix my problem but it was totally unrelated to this. I have an AMD 64 but I' m using ubuntu 32-bit. I' m sorry but I did not realize that this post was about gnome-do 64 bit at the time I posted my question.

I did have the same problem though. My problem surfaced because I did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 on a recently fixed computer. In my haste to use gnome-do I installed and updated it before updating intrepid (which is now on a new kernel). When I updated the system and started using gnome-do I noticed it was having the plug-in problem. I proceeded to completely remove gnome-do from the system but every time I reinstalled it had the same problem and actually the same configuration. This happened even though I removed via synaptic and specifically marked it to remove everything. I also (after installing again) purged it via the terminal but I got the same result after another install.

 I ended up installing ubuntu all over again and following the correct procedure of first updating the system before updating gnome-do. Now everything works fine but I wonder...why did it " remember" its configuration after completely removing it?

I'm having problems with this issue. No matter how many times I tried reinstalling the plugins and the core package, I could not get the plugins to load. When can I expect to see a fix for this? I'm really hoping to get more out of this application than a spicy-looking "run" function.

Thanks!

Also, when I run

# sudo apt-get install gnome-do-plugins

after an update, it returns:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome-do-plugins: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.9) but 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu9 is to be installed or

E: Broken packages

Confirming this is a problem.

I have installed gnome-do and gnome-do-plugins. Even reinstalled two times after completely removing the packages.

Seriously, it is not an user issue. If I use Synptic correctly i should be able to get a working software installed, everything else is disrespectful against the user, IMHO.

I am using Ubuntu 32-bit.
