Create a Menu Item Follow
Hi All
I finally got IntelliJ to work in Xubuntu, but instead of using the terminal, i'd prefer to create a menu shortcut. This is what i tried, but it did not work
[Desktop Entry]
Name=IntelliJ IDEA
Comment=Java Integrated Development Environment
Exec=/opt/idea-IU-95.429/bin/idea.sh
Icon=/opt/idea-IU-95.429/bin/idea32.png
Terminal=true
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
Encoding=UTF-8
StartupNotify=true
Any suggestions please ?
Many thanks

Hello,
Try this change:
'Exec=/opt/idea-IU-95.429/bin/idea.sh' -> 'Exec=/bin/sh -c "/opt/idea-IU-95.429/bin/idea.sh"'
Regards, Denis
Hi Denis
I made the change
[Desktop Entry]
Name=IntelliJ IDEA
Comment=Java Integrated Development Environment
Exec=Exec=/bin/sh -c "/opt/idea-IU-95.429/bin/idea.sh"
Icon=/opt/idea-IU-95.429/bin/idea32.png
Terminal=true
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
Encoding=UTF-8
StartupNotify=true
And i just get an empty terminal open up and thats all
Many thanks
Are you sure you have two "Exec=" at the beginning of the line?

Hi tom
Yes you were right, however it still will not boot. Only starts from the terminal sadly
