I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.
TexLive (including latexmk) was installed successfully. The pdf reader is evince by default. Compiling tex files inside ST3 works perfectly. The forward search also works. But I simply can't get the inverse search right, i.e. ctrl+left click on the pdf file doesn't have any response. Can anyone share his/her settings for LaTeXTools? Thanks in advance!
I wasn't aware of Sublime Text, but seems nice.
In order to get the inverse search, open
Preferences > Package Settings > LaTeXTools > Settings -- User
Scroll down and replace "sublime": "sublime-text" for "sublime": "subl"
Now it should work. Ctrl + click on evince. Instructions were here.
python and utilizes the dbus module, as discussed here. Apparently, I had another python (Anaconda distribution) installed on my machine and the module dbus isn't included in it. Once I set the path to the python that comes with Ubuntu, the problem goes away.

In addition to @Ludenticus answer: With ubuntu 14.10 and sublime3, I also needed to set
"python2": "/usr/bin/python"
under platform settings -> linux in order to get backward search working in evince.
In addition to setting the correct subl and python2 commands, python2 bindings to dbus are needed (as mentioned by @William Zhang in the comments).
On Ubuntu 16.04 the package python-dbus provides these, and does not seem to be installed by default.
