I'm new to Ubuntu, and I installed IntelliJ, Android Studio and Unity3D



Now Unity3D used a .deb file and thus is listed in the dpkg and apt, and Android Studio, while not coming in a deb file, created a shortcut into /usr/share/applications, so I get how the x11 and Unity (the desktop GUI) is able to show it when I search for it. But I can search for IntelliJ, and the search bar does show it as an application, but I was not able to find it either in apt nor the /usr/share/applications folder, so I'm simply wondering how the GUI knows that it is installed.

    Putting "solved" in the title is not needed. Instead, mark your answer as "Accepted", and that will effectively mark the question as "solved". You may have to wait a few days before you can accept the answer.

There are (at least) two applications folder that X11 (I assume) is looking into: /usr/share/applications AND ~/.local/share/applications. I found the shortcut in ~/.local/share/applications.

  • So the shortcut was in ~/.local/share/applications? Just clarifying.
