I tried to follow this to make sublime text 2 as my default text editor
First I did
ls /usr/share/applications
Here I found out that the name was
sublime-text-2.desktop
Then I opened
subl /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
and then replaced all instances of gedit to sublime-text-2 parallel to what is explained in the link and then logged out and back in,
But it does nothing..
I have also tried replacing gedit with subl but to no avail please help
I have Ubuntu 16 dual booted on my system
NOTE: when I run sublime from terminal using
subl
then it works but sometimes shows errors like the following:
