Updating PHP Storm leads to a "?" icon
An easier way would be:
- unlock icon in launcher
- unpack the new version to whatever location you liked
sh /bin/phpstorm.sh
- when asked if you want to use old setting and you so desire point
phpstorm
to the old.phpstorm
directory - go to
Tools
menu on PhpStorm and selectCreate Desktop Entry...
from drop down - when asked if you want to over write former desktop entry accept and your done.
- re-lock your icon again
The answer in my case was deleting the .desktop
file. It was in the global location. I guess I must have launched PHPStorm as root at some point. The command was
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/jetbrains-phpstorm.desktop
Then I relaunched phpstorm, locked the icon, quit and restarted via launcher.
$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/jetbrains-phpstorm.desktop
