cannot create new project

[bootstrap]

I just installed 64-bit ubuntu 10.04 and codeblocks 10.05 but cannot create a new project.

When I click "create a new project" a dialog appears with these categories:
 projects
 build targets
 files
 custom
 user templates

When I select "projects", nothing appears in the window below "Category:".  To the right of "Category:" is some kind of pulldown menu that says "<All Categories>" in it.  When I click on "<All Categories>", nothing appears below.  At all times the "go" button is grayed out, so it is impossible to create a new project... as far as I can see.

What's my problem?

Turn on Script Wizard Plugin is the normal solution under Windows.

That should not be the cause, because the scriptedwizard-plugin should be in the codeblocks-(core-)package (at least if the original package-structure is used).

Where did you get your C::B from ?

Can you start C::B from console with -d parameter and copy the contents of the Code::blocks (debug) log and post it here (in code-tags).

Ehhhh.  I can't believe I already forgot that.  I know I followed several series of instructions that I found somewhere, but I think most of them were related to wxpython and wxwidgets.  My vague memory is, installing codeblocks was via one of the ubuntu package installation applications.

Here is what I found in the "Code::Blocks Debug" tab after it started up... I hope this is that what you need:

Ah, man!  It won't let me cut/copy/paste the contents of that tab.  Give me a break!  It will take me forever to type in all that stuff.  Bummer.  Okay... I created 2 images with "print-screen" that show the contents, which I attach (hopefully I can attach both).

It says that the wizard is activated.
You can try to remove the config-file and see if it works than (just remove or better rename ~/.codeblocks/ ).

I renamed the ~/.codeblocks directory, then started up codeblocks again.  I still have the same problem.  It created a new ~/.codeblocks directory that contains two subdirectories called plugins and scripts, both of which are empty (as they were previously).

In case I didn't say it before, the selected compiler is "gnu gcc compiler".  Now what?

Do you have something returned by this command:
"find /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/ -iname '*.script'"

Replace /usr with the prefix directory of you C::B installation

Also, go to Plugins -> Manage and verify that the Scripted wizard is enabled!

When I select "Plugins => Manage Plugins..." that displays a "Manage Plugins" dialog that is empty (except for a large borderless "tip" saying multiple selections are supported and warning against badly written plugins.  When I click the "Install New" button, it browses to the desktop where no plugins exist - and therefore displays nothing capable of being installed.

So I guess the second test is showing us the problem... hopefully someone knows what this result signifies.

Please help ASAP... I have so much programming work I need to do, and I'm stuck!  Thanks.

Okay, I reinstalled ubuntu 64-bit 10.04 and codeblocks 10.05 and now it seems to work.  I think I know what happened, which I'll mention here for anyone who has the same problem and finds this thread.

What I think happened is, when I created a link/shortcut on the desktop, it created a copy of the codeblocks executable instead of a link/shortcut.  Since it was then being started in the /home/username/Desktop directory, I guess it wasn't finding files where it expected.  At least that's my guess, because I don't think I installed anything differently.  What I noticed is, the icon on the desktop is now codeblocks specific, while previously it was some generic looking diamond-shaped icon... I'm guessing a generic "executable" icon.
