Not saving license?

[roderick]

I’m a little hesitant to ask because I am a Linux and Sublime Text newb.

I purchased a license and cut and pasted it. Sublime Text accepts it.

When I restart Sublime text it keeps showing as unregistered. I have to re-register it.

Any suggestions?

What OS and version of ST are you using? If you’re on Ubuntu, make sure that ST can write to ~/.config/sublime-text-2/ (or whatever its settings path is).

Try opening up a terminal and entering the following: (Sorry if it’s wrong, it’s been a while since I used ST2 in Ubuntu)

cd ~/.config sudo chmod -R 777 sublime-text-2

Dead on! Your memory still works.

Thanks!

FYI: I am running Sublime Text 2.0.1 Build 2217
on Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit).

chmod -R 777

Bad idea.
Steal ALL the user licenses!

Just use 700 I guess, and maybe only on directories.

Or just don’t run untrusted code…

But yeah, you’re right. 0600 would probably be the best, I don’t think anything that resides in there needs execute permission.

for me, the chmod was fine, but the whole .config folder was owned by root for some reason. So, for me the following worked:

cd ~/.config sudo chown -R username: sublime-text-2/

On a fresh ubuntu 22.04 install (wsl or docker container), I had to do do the following for sublime text 4.

 mkdir -p ~/.config/sublime-text/Local

It seems to not handle the .config folder missing.

We have a fix for this in the works.
