If you download sublime text 2 from here, you will get Sublime Text 2.0.2.tar.bz2

After unpacking archive with command

tar xfvj Sublime\ Text\ 2.0.2.tar.bz2

you will get directory Sublime Text 2, go to dir

cd  /path_to_dir/Sublime Text 2

and start text editor with command

./sublime_text

If you want to start text editor only with command sublime create sim link in /usr/bin

cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /path_to_dir/Sublime\ Text\ 2/sublime_text sublime

This link will allow to run text editor with command sublime

First part of problem is solved.

Exporting X Display via ssh you can have with option -X

ssh -l username ssh_server -X

With this command probably you will get your text editor in you display.

  • username means root@tmdw ? and ssh_server ? @2707974 – Rasel Khan Apr 24 '15 at 07:46
  • you also can use command in format ssh root@tmdw -X. In command ssh -l username ssh_server -X, -l - mean login name on server. command ssh root@tmdw -X is the same like ssh -l root tmdw -X – 2707974 Apr 24 '15 at 07:51
  • root@tmdwc:~# ssh -l root@tmdwc ssh_server -X not working – Rasel Khan Apr 24 '15 at 07:55
  • only ssh root@tmdwc -X or ssh -l root tmdwc -X – 2707974 Apr 24 '15 at 07:57

  • Ok, you change question. You do not need to ssh on you own pc to start some app. Do you have installed ubuntu server without X? – 2707974 Apr 24 '15 at 08:08
  • I'm working in SSH server and with install lamp-server^ – Rasel Khan Apr 24 '15 at 08:12
  • Ubuntu server do not have X and can not be exported. Try another text editor. nano, vi, pico. – 2707974 Apr 24 '15 at 08:17
