Hi Paolo Rotolo,

I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04. I installed via your repo Android Studio but the program doesn't appear anywhere. Even via a terminal my PC didn't found the bin or something related to.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your report.

Please, open a terminal and paste this command: /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh

Can you tell me if it works :)?

I had the same problem on ubuntu 14 , with /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh it launched it ... thank you

Are you using Unity or GNOME? Also Ubuntu i386 or amd64?

Unity and amd64

Same problem here: no app appearing in the dash. Ubuntu 15.04 Unity 64 bit

With /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh the software is launched.

Could you paste here what's in android-studio.desktop file in /usr/share/applications please?

nano /usr/share/applications/android-studio.desktop

Me too (Ubuntu 15.04 Unity & 64 Bits). Here's the content of .desktop file ->

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=Android Studio
Exec=/opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
Comment=Integrated Android developer tools for development and debugging.

I got this error:

Please assist.

Nevermind, I fixed it by installing jdk 7

I solved this using 'sudo desktop-file-install android-studio.desktop' on /usr/share/applications

I experimented this issue on Linux Mint 17.1. @loide's solution works like a charm, thanks!

Awesome guys, I'm going to add the tip in FAQ. :+1:

Same problem appear after installing jdk 8 after android studio. @loide 's solution worked for me ! @PaoloRotolo , I can't see the trick on the FAQ, did you just forgot to update it or am I just missing the info somewhere ?

@loide's suggestion

sudo desktop-file-install /usr/share/applications/android-studio.desktop

works on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Thanks a log!

@loide 's solution works on LinuxMint17.3 x64 cinema

I had the same problem and on my second attempt on a new machine I found this to be prequisits: #Install Java8 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

#configure Java8 (in my case I had to select 1) sudo update-alternatives --config java

#this stuff is required to avoid mksdcard error on first run of the studio sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6

#press ctrl+w and search for "MaxPermSize" and remove the line sudo nano /opt/android-studio/bin/studio64.vmoptions sudo nano /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.vmoptions

Then install AS and reboot. Everything should work then.
