zsh plugin -- zsh-syntax-highlighting cannot be installed

pk flag

I have installed zsh, git, and oh-my-zsh, but i got an error like this: enter image description here

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

I have .zshrc and ./oh-my-zsh located in $HOME

I've googled around for this but nothing worked for me:

  • it might have something to do with lf mode, i've also tried dos2unix to convert to unix file but still didn't work
  • i've tried to reinstall oh-my-zsh but same problem

Any thoughts?

here is .zshrc :

# If you come from bash you might have to change your $PATH.
# export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH

# Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.
export ZSH="/home/powersite/.oh-my-zsh"

# Set name of the theme to load --- if set to "random", it will
# load a random theme each time oh-my-zsh is loaded, in which case,
# to know which specific one was loaded, run: echo $RANDOM_THEME
# See https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"

# Set list of themes to pick from when loading at random
# Setting this variable when ZSH_THEME=random will cause zsh to load
# a theme from this variable instead of looking in $ZSH/themes/
# If set to an empty array, this variable will have no effect.

I've tried to run fresh ubuntu within docker and run all the steps from the beginning, it worked, I don't know why it don't work in my main Ubuntu system ? it might help probably if i reset my Ubuntu profile ? any idea how to reset all the configuration and any idea if it's worth trying ?

`command not found: ^M` suggests you saved the file with Windows line endings

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
