Package Control no longer showing up in Sublime Text 3

[CLaBruno]

Not sure what is going on but when I go to install a package, package control is not showing up anymore. I checked my installed packages folder and Package control is in there and I even tried deleting it and then re-installing but it's still not showing up. I am running ST3 on Linux Mint 17. Any idea what may be going on?

[FichteFoll]

It's 99% disabled (for some reason, I suspect a bug in PC itself). Check your ignored_packages setting in the user settings file.

@wbond, maybe it's worth adding this to the troubleshooting section at packagecontrol.io?

[chiefjester]

same here, its not working on OSX, tried reinstalling package control of no avail.

Also trying to install it again I'm getting: 174110

I don't know what does that mean.

[CLaBruno]

I figured out what the problem was. There seems to be some sort of bug that popped up during the most recent update so what you need to do is go into the default settings and scroll down to where it says "ignored packages" and remove Package Control from the ignored packages list. Then just restart Sublime. Hope this helps.

[dhershman1]

This fix worked for me ^ However instead of default mine appeared in user settings. removed and then restarted sublime now its running like a dime again.

Thansk for info, this method worked for me :)

[TankMasterRL]

This issue and solution exists for ST2 as well!

[Rowno]

Package Control was ignored in Settings - User for me as well.

[chrispassas]

Same for me it was an ignored package

[gavinr]

Same here. Annoying bug!

[cassianorabelo]

@CLaBruno Thanks a lot for the heads up!

[dollardad]

This happened to me as well after removing the sublime text 3 beta version and going back to using sublime text 2. Removing it from Settings - user worked for me.

[Darrenbydesign]

Thanks for posting the resolution to this issue @FichteFoll . It saved me from more hours of frustration!

Anyone know why this happened in the first place?

[achton]

I had this on ST3 for Xubuntu.

[didacrios]

Thank god i arrived here too. Same problem for me, removed from ignored_packages and solved

Thanks

As of build 3076, Sublime Text prints the list of ignored packages on startup to help users diagnose a situation like this. Example output:

Also, there is https://github.com/wbond/packagecontrol.io/issues/45 tracking the change to packagecontrol.io to tell users to check for this.

Hi, the same issue - Packagae Control is not showing in Command Palette. And ignored_packages does not have PC there. Only ["Tag", "Vintage"]

error: plugin_host has exited unexpectedly, plugin functionality won't be available until Sublime Text has been restarted

Thanks for helping

[wbond]

@salf This issue is closed.

Your issue seems to be that something is causing plugin_host to crash. Try https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/revert.html to get to a known good state and then try reinstalling packages one at a time. Be sure to save a copy of your old user folder so you do not lose any customizations.

[salf]

Absolutely new install of ST3 without packages leads to plugin_host error and package control cannot be installed :( Something wrong with my system I guess...

[rrevanth]

@salf Did you try installing package control.Try this method and ask if you have any issues :

https://packagecontrol.io/installation

[stepri]

Same here, after a fresh install I can't install package_control: error: plugin_host has exited unexpectedly, plugin functionality won't be available until Sublime Text has been restarted

[yihong-chen]

Thanks a lot! removing Package Control from the ignored list works for me.But I am still confused about why PC is in the ignored list

[salf]

@rrevanth It was unsuccessful install of PC (manually, by copied plugin into packages folder, and using script) - silent result with nonworking plugin. What I did: updated xcode with installation of command tools, installed all security updates, fix all errors/warnings in homebrew.

[salf]

Highly required a notification part of package_control or ST3, to be absolutely sure what's wrong!

[AndrewEQ]

Removing "package control" from "ignored_packages" in Sublimetext > Preferences > Settings - User worked for me.

[salf]

I can't imagine how the package_control could get into ignoring list?? It's a most important and useful thing in Sublime Text

[leompeters]

ignored_packages +1

[daphneokeefe]

Brand new download of ST3 for Windows x64, first time on this machine. Neither preferences file has the ignored_packages problem. When I added package control, I also got a file named 0_package_control_loader.sublime-package. When I restarted ST3, a popop advised me "Package Control: 1 missing dependency was just installed. Sublime Text should be restarted, otherwise one or more of the installed packages may not function properly." But I couldn't install packages.

So after trying everything suggested here so far, I uninstalled the 64-bit version and deleted the AppData files. Then I installed the 32-bit Windows version of ST3, got Package Control (and the "missing dependency"), and was able to add a package using the Preferences > Package Control: Install Package menu.

I had no such problems installing the same build (3083) on OSX a month or two ago.

So maybe there is still a problem with the 64-bit Windows version which has been fixed in the OSX and 32-bit Windows versions.

[mkanet]

This tip resolved it for me!! Thanks!!

[webchun]

This tip works for me too. Thanks!

[jameelahuq]

@daphneokeefe Thanks for the tip. I installed Sublime 3 that wasn't for x64 and now linter works. (Linter? De-linter?)

[jago86]

Guys, I tried to install PAckage Control on sublime text 3 in ubuntu 14.04 and not just don't install, but sublime crashes!! I reopened and crashes again. Sublime is now unusable

[raphaklaus]

I don't know if it's related but with me it's possible to access Package Control: Install, the packages are listed however the Package Control do not install them. :(

Sublime's build: 3083

I downgraded to Sublime Text 2 and everything works like a charm.

[wbond]

@raphaelduartepinheiro Please open a new issue with a debug log

[raphaklaus]

@wbond alright, thank you for your readiness.

[soub4i]

Thanks Works ^^

[SouravJaiswal]

That worked for me too. Package Control was ignored in user setting

[Kounavi]

Thank God! This was getting on my nerves as I was astute why it wasn't working (and why it was in the user settings to begin with). Anyway, problem solved! :)

[SajibDevnath]

Thanks!! :+1:

[birendragurung]

Solution is: just go to PREFERENCES>>SETTINGS-USER and the file will open like: "ignored_packages": [ "Vintage" "Package Control" ] }

Just delete the line that contains Package Control then restart.. Problem solved

[nonstriater]

first, look at my installed packages:

at pref>setting-user:

but still not show “package control". like：

ST build 3083. why?

[pbil]

@nonstriater , you must do exactly as described at https://packagecontrol.io/installation#Manual

in Manual section

copy downloaded file "Package Control.sublime-package" (without unzip) to folder "Installed Packages", not to "Packages"

[nonstriater]

@pbil ,I try that, and put the "Package Control.sublime-package" to folder "installed packages",restart ST,still not working

[wbond]

@nonstriater This issue is closed. If you are having trouble, please open a new issue with a copy of the contents of your ST console. And please keep the language clean, otherwise you will not be welcome here.

@pbil No, a manual install is not usually the solution to something like this. Instead, https://packagecontrol.io/docs/troubleshooting#Purging_and_Reinstalling is more likely what you want.

[goodfellamilos]

@CLaBruno Yes, that was it, thanks man. Only in my case it was under ignored packages, but in User settings.

[ORESoftware]

wow, yep, in "settings user", Package Control is ignored:

{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai Bright.tmTheme",
    "font_size": 12,
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "Vintage",
        "Package Control"
    ]
}

[younesmln]

thinks (y)

[totallytotallyamazing]

On Mac OS 10.9.5, Sublime Text 3 - Go to Preferences then Setting - User and just delete "Package Control" which was designated as "ignored_packages": That did the trick for me. Thank you @CLaBruno and @dhershman1
