I enabled the "External Tools" plugin for gedit. I clicked on Tools > Manage External Tools, but it didn't pop up a dialog. It did nothing. What did I do wrong? How can I re-install this plugin?

Install, if it isn't already, gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 package:

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtksource-3.0

Then give your user ownership over GEdit configuration directory:

sudo chown YOUR_USERNAME /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.config/gedit

Open GEdit and now you should be able to use External tools plugin.
