Launcher wants to run as super user
Product: PHPStorm 9.0.2
Operating System Fedora 22/Mate
I installed PHPStorm and set it up the same way I have IntelliJ and PyCharm set up. I unpack it. Move it to /var/opt. Create a symlink without the version. Assign root:developer as the owner with me as part of the group developer. Create a menu option. However, when I click on the menu, which calls ./bin/phpstorm.sh, a dialog pops up (described below).
Dialog Title: Authenticate
Message: Authentication is needed to run `/home/fbrier/.WebIde90/systemp/tmp/launcher_installer0.sh' as the super user.
Entry field Password
Details: polkit.subject-pid 10814, polkit.caller-pid 10879, Action: org.freedesktop.policykit.exec, Vendor: The polkit project
Why would PHPStorm need to run as super user? When closed, it launches another dialog wanting to run `/home/fbrier/.WebIde90/systemp/tmp/sudo0.sh' as the super user. When I say cancel to both, it says "Failed to create desktop entry '/home/fbrier/.WebIde90/systemp/tmp/sudo0.sh' : 127. All those directories are owned and write-able by my user, fbrier. Other than that the PhpStorm seems to be functioning okay... so far :).
