Description Gabriel_G 2016-02-04 13:51:18 UTC 
I've tried to install downloaded DukeScript plugin (can't install from available plugins because a 'timeout error' in the process)

After succesful installation and ide restart, the plugin is not installed.

I'm using a fresh IDE install, I've already deleted "~/.netbeans" directory, running on Ubuntu 15.10, Java 8 u72 x64

Thank you in advance.

Logs cleaned before tools -> plubins -> update (15 updates) -> restart IDE -> plugins not updated.

Upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04, JDK 1.8.0_92 (x64), problem persist.

Maybe this could help:

When I start NB from .desktop launcher, it performs in the wrong way.

When I start it from installation directory, IDE updates and install plugins. I saw in terminal the error ...

java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /home/<my-home>/.netbeans/8.1/var/log/updater.log.0.lck
	at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.translateToIOException(UnixException.java:86)
	at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:102)

So, maybe when I launch IDE from Netbeans.desktop (/home/<my-home>/.local/share/applications/Netbeans.desktop) it assumes as working directory that path.

Could you confirm that? 
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for triple-posting, more info:

I added "Path=/home/<my-home>/<netbeans-installation-dir>/bin" to the netbeans.desktop in the path "/home/<my-home>/.local/share/applications/" and that solve the issue.

Could you recommend an alternative? maybe modifying netbeans.sh?
Thank you.
