I am trying to install Sublime Text 2 on Linux MINT (Mate) from this tutorial.  http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/907 and I'm stuck on:Next , to create a menu icon press Alt+F2 and type:gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/sublime.desktopWhen I press Alt+F2 nothing happens, is there another way I can run this command?
ALT+F2 doesnt work in Linux Mint Mate
command line;terminal;files;linux mint
You need to understand that the following command is just one way to create/open a file with an editor - here gedit - using root permissions:gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/sublime.desktopApparently, the tutorial you're following assumes you have these utilities installed and therefore you're getting troubles with that command. To do the exact same thing using more common tools, you could run the following command in a terminal:sudo nano /usr/share/applications/sublime.desktopThis will open the file in nano so you can insert text and save it with Ctrl+o and Ctrl+x.
