"Run" Eclipse from Ubuntu desktop link error [message #1817155]

After clean install of Eclipse (2019-09) with only CDT added I cannot "run" it form Ubuntu desktop.
On top of that I get an error referring to a log file which does not exist.

Works as expected with another copy of Eclipse with CDT , TFC, EGIT added and into different workspace.

Normally I get "splash" logo, then request for selecting workspace and then same splash with "progress bar". Ends up with need to open Ubuntu Eclipse icon, not the app.

When it fails I never get into workspace selection , only reference to non existing error log file.

I see Linux and Ubuntu are on your learning list, too.

Files starting with "." are hidden from ordinary commands like "ls"
You can see them with ls -a (short list) or ls -al (long list)
You can also put it on the command line, e.g., ls -a .hiddenFile
Do man ls from a terminal.

If you've created an executable, you should be able to run it without Eclipse.
To run a command from the desktop requires a launcher.
Better to use a terminal or a launcher which retains error messages in case things go wrong.
