Launch in terminal `subl` don't work

#1

Xubuntu 22.04 LTE
XFCE Terminal 0.8.10
Sublime, Stable Channel, Build 4169

I use Sublime as main code editor and git commit editor.
Usually I could launch Sublime in Terminal command: subl .
But now this command don’t work.
Another programs in terminal launch normal.
And I can use Sublime as git commit editor: git commit .

But launch subl don’t work.

I tried with
sudo ln -s /opt/sublime/sublime_text /usr/bin/subl
and
sudo ln -s /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text /usr/local/bin/subl
it’s don’t work too.

Error:
bash: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text.exe: No such file or directory

What can I do?

Looks like you’ve got a symlink somewhere pointing to a path for a Microsoft Windows install of ST. I suggest running which subl to find out where that’s coming from.

I use Linux (Xubuntu 22.04 LTS), NOT Microsoft Windows.

Yesterday command subl worked normal. But now it doesn’t work.

When I type command subl I receive error:

myname@MyName:~/Repositories/Landing_Page$ subl
bash: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text.exe: No such file or directory

But when I type git commit - Sublime launch normal as git commit editor.
And. of course, Sublime work normal with graphic interface.

Problem only with command subl

And when I try:
sudo ln -s /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text /usr/local/bin/subl
I receive error:

myname@MyName:~/Repositories/Landing_Page$ sudo ln -s /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text /usr/local/bin/subl
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/subl': File exists

I use Linux (Xubuntu 22.04 LTS), NOT Microsoft Windows.

I know, but the path in the error message is for Microsoft Windows. Perhaps that helps you narrow down the issue.

I suggest running:

$ which subl

to find out where that’s coming from.

Looks like the issue is related to ubuntu snap packages. Did you install Sublime Text using a snap or did you follow the official guide? What’s the result of file /snap/bin/subl?

I installed Sublime using graphical interface Software (from basic programs Xubuntu).
And yesterday command subl worked correct.

The Sublime Text snap on the ubuntu store is not an official distribution of Sublime Text. I suggest following our documentation for installing Sublime Text on Linux: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/linux_repositories.html. Otherwise I suggest taking this issue to the authors of the snap package.

I installed Sublime from your instruction (for apt - Ubuntu).
But subl don’t work.
