Cannot start sublime text from terminal on Linux

#1

I have installed sublime text from the official Sublime HQ pacman repository. After upgrading to KDE Plasma 6, it appears I can no longer start sublime from the terminal. Running /usr/bin/subl results in no output at all, and no window is displayed. ps aux shows no sublime process running either. Running /usr/bin/subl --safe-mode has the same behavior. I’m not sure what else to report as I don’t see any log information in $HOME/.config/sublime-text/Log/ either.

$ subl -v
Sublime Text Build 4169

$ cat /etc/os-release                                                                                                                                                                                  [10:38:18]

Try running subl --debug --multiinstance; that may provide more information as to what’s going on.

Huh, that seems to have fixed it. Maybe the --multiinstance? When I ran that command, sublime popped right up, and then after closing everything, I can run subl as normal without any arguments and it works as expected.

Thanks for your help!
