I have deleted the folder with the files of IntelliJ to make a fresh reinstall, if go to the new folder and run:

sh idea.sh

It works!

But if I try to run it from the sidebar (I don't know the proper name of it, nor if it is part of Nautilus of Unity, if someone could tell me I would be glad):

Old path found

.. looks like there is still, somewhere a file, pointing to the old version.

How could I fix this?

That looks like it's showing you a Java file as part of the "document" search in Unity, which clicking on will try to use the default program associated with Java source files. You may want to see:

Intellij IDEA launching another icon at start

and

Update Launcher for Intellij IDEA in Ubuntu

For known issues with the IntelliJ .desktop launcher and Unity.

Also take a look at how to create launchers yourself in Unity to run your idea.sh script:

  • Thanks, the first one did the trick, I've also read the other links you've provided to understand more about the "tags" inside a .desktop file.

    Just a quick question: On the first link you've provided the configuration file had somenthing like this at the end:

    X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22

    Where can I look for this info in my system? Or even, what does it mean X-Desktop-File-Install-Version?

  • My understanding is that it's the version of the "FreeDesktop" specification, and the only way I have found to determine what version I have installed is dpkg -l desktop-file-utils – Kristopher Ives Sep 28 '18 at 22:33
