http://askubuntu.com – I started using Sublime Text 2 a week or so ago and I loved it so much I've spent $60 on it and now want to use it for everything. Gedit currently has ownership of most of the text file associations. I'd essentially like to replace any association to gedit with sublime-text-2. Any tips available on bulk association changing?

My sublime-text 2 editor no longer starts when I click it's icon in my dock. The icon does the normal slow pulsing for a while (unity) but nothing seems to load.

How can I determine why sublime has started failing?

I use the sublime text 2 text editor for developing in Ubuntu. When I want to open a file form the command line i need to type sublime-text-2 .

Make a copy of RubyTest.sublime-settings file to ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/ and make your changes.

But when I try to copy, I get error that there is no suc

I want to make a .desktop file like described here.

[Desktop Entry] Name=Sublime Text 2 GenericName=Sublime Text 2 Comment=Edit text files Exec=/home/user/opt/sublime/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text %U

However, running that from Nautilus's context menu using Open with this gives me

Could not find '/home/user/opt/sublime/Sublime'

So I tried

Exec="/home/user/opt/sublime/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text

I installed Sublime Text 2 on Ubuntu 12.04 as per this tutorial. http://www.technoreply.com/how-to-install-sublime-text-2-on-ubuntu-12-04...

However I don't have adequate permissions when launching the program from the Ubuntu launcher. For example I cannot install packages, or if I add a folder to the sidebar when I close Sublime and reopen the folder is no longer listed.

Hey, I'm new to CrunchBang, really liking the OS now after forcing myself to play around with it, (just switched from windows), however one problem I can't seem to solve is Sublime Text 2 not opening files such as .js even though it's set as the default text editor, even when I right click the .js file and go to the 'Open With' tab, Sublime Text 2 is not displayed in the l
