Sublime 3 Stopped Working on Ubuntu 14.04

#1

Aloha - of course this could be an Ubuntu issue, but here goes the issue just in case someone can point me in the right direction.

I have been using Sublime 3 on Ubuntu without issue. Yesterday my computer froze up and I had to hard reboot. Sublime text was running when I had to do the hard boot. Then when computer reloaded, I could not open sublime text, the icon shows in the left sidbar as sublime text is running, and when I use “alt + tab” to rotate through open applications it is there as an icon. However the application is just not actually opening for me to use it, the GUI is just not showing. If I “alt+tab” to it, nothing.

I unistalled and reinstalled Sublime Text 3 also, but still the same issue.

I put this question out to askubuntu also. Got a reply that fixed it and will share link here in case anyone else has the same issue.

“If an application does not work after a crash
Remove ~/.config/sublime-text-3, immediately log out and back in. I am pretty sure it will work then.
In these situations, local settings can get corrupted, rather then the global ones. The fact that you reinstalled Sublime Text with no success is another indication the cause is locally.”
