I have a similar issue as raised in this topic… (Export SQL Lite - #4 by DaveSch). Their solution was to reinstall, however, I would prefer not to delete Gramps and reinstall it, as there appear to be issues with it in the PPA.
I have tried the options mentioned ( 1. deleted the Plugins folder, checked the Gramps ini file, etc) but I am still not getting the enhanced plugins. I can manually add the plugins individually, and they work, but I would very much like the automatic function to work.
Similar to previous poster, I do not have a new_addons.txt file. and on trying the “check for updated addons now” button I got…
There are no available addons of this type.
I have manually loaded the enhanced plugin manager ( which does not materially changed anything) and now I get
This could be an issue either with Ubuntu 20.04 or Gramps 5.1 as I updated both to get the new features of Gramps 5.1. It worked perfectly for me in Ubuntu 18 LTS and Gramps 4.2
Work for me using your settings, maybe an internet connection issue on your side , try starting Gramps from the command line to see if it provides any additional information ?
Also try changing the What to check setting to New and updated addons to see if that helps?
That’s done something useful… but not sure how it helps… If I understand this correctly it is saying my connection has been refused. I’m based in China, and have tried this both directly and via VPN ( Singapore) …

I agree something to do with github not liking your vpn setup, not sure how to fix that maybe try another vpn provider if possible, lots of people mentioning [Errno 111] on google and one person from china for a different program !
Thanks for looking! It worked with my connection on Gramps 4.2, so not sure it is this. But clearly something is wrong, I will have a dig into potential connection issues…
not sure if i did this right… but no change… I get this response…

This could be because of an error in a (third party) View on startup.
To use another view, don’t load a Family Tree, change view, and then load your Family Tree.
You can also change manually the startup view in the gramps.ini file
by changing the last-view parameter.
