Sublime text 3 can't type anything without "sudo" on Debian 8.6

[Nemo]

I download 64 bits tarball and unzip it.

But when i open the sublime_text I can’t type anything.

I have already check Vintage setting, it’s fine. (“ignored_packages”: [“Vintage”])

Finally, I found that if I run “sudo sublime_text” every thing is fine.

I can use sublime on ubuntu via deb package installed, but with tarball on Debian the problem occured.

Is there any way can fix this situation?

Which rights do you have on the directory where ST resides in?

Using the tarball i have extracted it into /opt/st, which i created as root:

mkdir /opt/st
chown -R marcus: /opt/st

Hi mbajohr,

Thanks for your reply,

But I’ve tried all combinations of the rights, and nothing changed.

My guess is that one or more files or subdirectories in ~/.config/sublime-text-3 are owned by root.

I second cfb’s guess.
