You guys may have already done this, but I managed to do a temporary fix by downloading the quantal gedit-plugins deb and extracting synctex plugin. I copied the plugin file and the plugin folder manually:
sudo cp -r synctex.plugin synctex /usr/lib/gedit/plugins I have attached the necessary file and folder. ** Attachment added: "synctex.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit-plugins/+bug/1165742/+attachment/3657260/+files/synctex.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit-plugins in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1165742 Title: Synctex plugin was not built in raring Status in “gedit-plugins” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The Synctex plugin is apparently not installed by gedit-plugins.
