[Solved] Impossible to start Netbeans form GUI

MaximoSoria · 2014-07-15 06:22:16

This issue is curious, I've just installed Netbeans form the repositories, after finished I went to the launcher in my KDE desktop and selected "netbeans" but nothing happened, in order to figured out what was wrong I opened a terminal and typed "netbeans", for my surprise Netbeans started normally, then I checked the configuration of the launcher and everything is OK. After that I decided to create a personal script to execute netbeans, and when I clic on the script nothing happens, but when I run it from the terminal it works perfectly. What could be wrong? Any help is welcome, thanks.

Please use code tags: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code

Try specifying the full path.

I have already done that, I tried:

Exec=netbeans
Exec=/usr/bin/netbeans
Exec=/bin/sh "usr/bin/netbeans"

But nothing works, unless I run those commands from a terminal they work perfectly. Thanks for the sugestion.

Could you provide the part of ~/.xsession-errors that corresponds to the moment you use the launcher? Only that part (don't post your whole log!).

I have re-install Netbeans, this time instead of using the Arch's repositores I downloaded it from the official web site and after installed it everything works fine, the installer even create a shortcut on my desktop. Now if I take a look to netbeans.desktop this is waht I find:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=NetBeans IDE 8.0
Comment=The Smarter Way to Code
Exec=/bin/sh "/opt/netbeans-8.0/bin/netbeans"
Icon=/opt/netbeans-8.0/nb/netbeans.png
Categories=Application;Development;Java;IDE
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=0

I'm not sure what was the problem but after installed it manually everything is perfect, thanks for the help jasonwryan.
