I have Ubuntu 17.04. I have a desktop entry that allows me to start SQL Developer. This desktop entry used to work, but now it have stopped working... This is my entry:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=SQL Developer
Icon=/usr/lib/sqldeveloper/icon.png
Exec=/usr/lib/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh

To edit it I use:

sudo -i gedit /usr/share/applications/sqldeveloper.desktop

When i run i terminal:

/usr/lib/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh

SQL developer starts. What can be the error here?

ls -l command output:

sindre@s-elitebook:~$ ls -l /usr/share/applications/sqldeveloper.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 146 sep.   4 08:44 /usr/share/applications/sqldeveloper.desktop
sindre@s-elitebook:~$

Run ls -l /path/to/file.desktop and add to your question – George Udosen Sep 25 '17 at 06:31

Probably there is a difference in environment variables. What does the /usr/lib/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh script look like? – Nathaniel M. Beaver Jul 14 '20 at 14:40
