Unable to activate themes

#1

I am running version 3 build 3143

When I install themes such as Material Theme, the package control messages document that opens describes a few ways to activate the theme, one is using the command palette and typing Material: Theme: Activate theme and another is via the Preferences > Packages Settings menu.

The menu is greyed out and typing that command does not do anything. I am running Ubuntu 17.10 on i3wm window manager (could this be the issue?)
I tryed apt removing the sublime-text package and downloading and untar’ing the bz2 to /opt/sublime_text_3 but this fails to solve the problem.

I am at a loss for what else I can do to troubleshoot this issue. If anyone has sugestions that would be greatly apreciated.

most likely there is a bug in the theme’s plugin code, maybe check the ST Python console for errors (View menu -> Show Console).

Thank you, that was helpful. I have discovered

reloading plugin Material Theme.MT
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from . import version as ver
ImportError: cannot import name version```

Looking into this now, maybe i need to reinstall mdpopups, although that is not something Installed.
