Can't start Dbeaver by desktop icon.

See original GitHub issue

I was unable to start Dbeaver by desktop icon when I updated to 5.1.4. It’s always no problem starting from the terminal. Today, I updated to 5.1.5.201808122132, but I still can’t start.

My OS is Ubuntu 16.04. dbeaver.desktop is as follow

@serge-rider Solved my problem, I remove “dbeaver.desktop” from “~/.local/share/applications”, the content was:

[Desktop Entry]

5.1.5 was already released, display glitch issue was fixed there. You always can downgrade using deb installer (archives are here: https://dbeaver.io/files/ or in GitHub releases).

Any logs/traces would be very welcome. Unfortunately I don’t know where Gnome keeps them. Something is wrong with binaries, I guess. At the moment I don’t have a clue how to fix this.
