IntelliJ IDEA lost icon after launch
intellij-idea, ubuntu
Solution
I do not know if it would work for `Gnome`, but for `KDE` I fixed it in the next way:
- Open folder `/home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications/`
- Find `jetbrains-idea.desktop`.
- Right mouse click on it, then select `Properties`
- Open `Application` tab
- Next to the `Command` section click `Browse...` button and select `idea.sh` file in `/pathToIntelliJ/bin` folder. (In my case the path was already correct, but it seems that selection the file again rewrite something and Icon works ok now).
- Click `OK`.
Also, according to this post, this bug must be fixed in 18.3 (now is 18.2.5)
Problem
I changed to use JetBrains Toolbox App to manage IntelliJ IDEA/PyCharm/WebStorm (I have reinstalled all the JetBrains products using Toolbox App) in my Ubuntu 16.04.2 recent days. Now I have an issue: each time when I started IntelliJ IDEA from the Toolbox App or from the command line (`./idea.sh`), IntelliJ IDEA could run as I wished but without an icon in the launcher bar, only a white question mark. However, if I start it by double-click the thumbnail of it, everything would be OK, including a beautiful icon in my ubuntu launcher bar! Does anyone know how to fix? This is not a big trouble, but I just want to make everything fine with my develop environment.
