I have version of ubuntu 13.10 running on my PC, I have recently shifted from windows to linux ubuntu, I have installed intellJ IDEA with full configuration set, and I have been using it for two weeks now.
The problem I am facing from day 1 is that I have IntelliJ IDEA Icon in the launch bar, but clicking on the icon does not opens/runs it.
I have to write the following command in the terminal to run intelliJ IDEA.
muhammad@raees-pc:~$ cd /home/muhammad/IDEA/idea-IU-133.696/bin
muhammad@raees-pc:~/IDEA/idea-IU-133.696/bin$ ./idea.sh
Although it is working fine, but why not it opens on click by mouse, I any one had same problem found solution please share with me,
Create file intilliJ.desktop, input the content as fellows:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=IntelliJ IDEA
Comment=IntelliJ IDEA IDE
Exec=/home/nufail/apps/idea-IC-107.587/bin/idea.sh
Icon=/home/nufail/apps/idea-IC-107.587/bin/idea_CE128.png
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
Type=Application
Categories=Development;IDE;
Then move the file to ~/.local/share/applications. If you want all users can use this application, you can add this file to /usr/share/applications/.
