ST4 Not Launching On Ubuntu 18.04

#1

After trying to open a large file in ST4 on Ubuntu 18.04 my editor crashed and has not opened again since.
subl -v does return the version “Sublime Text Build 4127”
But subl just returns, no error is printed, no window opens and there is no sublime-text process running in the background.
I have removed ~/.config/sublime-text/ but when I run subl again the folder is created again but the program still does not launch and ~/.config/sublime-text/Log/ is empty.
Is there a way I can enable more logging to understand what’s gone wrong?

Also remove ~/.cache/sublime-text

Try running subl --multiinstance --debug.

Thanks, that debug flag helped. Looks like my issue is with GTK. I’m using KDE, but had previously used GTK. A dependency could have been auto-removed.

@bschaaf APT installed build 4127, but downloading the TAR of build 4126 does run on my system. So it could be that the develop build introduces a bug. Will log in the public tracker.

This is a known issue with 4127, we’re looking at putting out a build soon.
