Install IntelliJ IDEA 2019 Ultimate on RHEL 8
Answered
Hello,
I installed IntelliJ IDEA 2019.1.3 on RHEL 8 workstation following the instructions on https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/installation-guide.html?section=Linux (Standalone installation).
When I try to start IDEA I observe is the following:
- Click on the "desktop" (Activities) icon has no effect - the IDE does not start;
- Invoking the IDEA from the command line ($ ~/idea/bin/idea.sh) starts the application but leaves an error message in the console:
Gtk-Message: 16:26:21.284: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Can anyone share if they met such a problem and how they resolved it?

Have you tried installing the module?
I tried the following:
$ sudo yum provides canberra-gtk-module
Error: No matches found
$ sudo yum list libcanberra-gtk-module
Error: No matches found
I'm not experienced with RHEL and would be glad if you point me to any installation paths I might miss.
On the other side, it seems the module is already installed:
$ sudo locate libcanberra-gtk-module.so
/usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so
Check also this thread: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/gtk-message-failed-to-load-module-canberra-gtk-module-936168/
Try also restarting ps after installing.
Long things short (as it is not possible to paste here): the following solved the problem:
$ sudo yum install libcanberra-gtk2
(libcanberra-gtk3 was already installed)
Thank you for your help, Andrey! :-)
