I installed Sublime and I launched it from the Flus launcher, and this is what I get as an alert from sublime Text: “Trying to start the daemon as a background process. fuse: Couldn’t start a background process of the daemon.” What should I do? ---

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue! Could you try leaving `fuse daemon` running in a terminal and try again? Also please post any output from running `fuse daemon`. Cheers ---

THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED THIS IS HOW I GOT THE PROBLEM Ok, this is the scenario on how I got the error: I installed sublime and tried installing the plugin using the fuse dashboard. It gave me the notification that the plugin has been installed. I then opened my project in sublime from the fuse dashboard and then the error showed up SOLUTION I tried doing exactly as you have stated, I went on the commandline and navigated to where my project existed and ran the command: fuse daemon as suggested and it gave me an output stating that “fuse daemon was already running” NEXT OPTION: So I had to restart my computer and tried opening up my project in sublim, and the error didnt show up. I also ran fuse daemon on command promt where my project is located so see if I would get the same output and this is what I got “Already running at 127.0.0.1 port 12122” The error doesnt show up again. THANKS ALOT GUYS FOR YOUR HELP, I HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE.
