Hi to all.
Out of a sudden sublime stopped working in Ubuntu OS today.
tanya@tanya:~$ subl
/snap/sublime-text/130/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text: error while loading shared libraries: libmd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/snap/core22/864/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmd.so.0.0.5

When e.g. do: tanya@tanya:~$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/snap/core22/864/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/snap/core22/858/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
the error appears: subl
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Has anyone faced it? Does anyone know how to fix it, please? How to add the library without reinstallation of the sublime?

FTR, there is no official ST snap package (nor do I think there will be one at any time for many reasons). I suggest using the official linux versions, see here: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/linux_repositories.html

Edit: https://github.com/snapcrafters/sublime-text/issues seems to be the source of the snap package in case you want to place the issue there, too

Thank you, will check this.

FWIW, seems indeed to be a current problem with the snap packages:

In a case any other faces the same issue, I have fixed it this way:
wget -qO - https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
echo “deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text
subl

You can close the post as resolved.
