The 'Postman' icon is not displayed

Question

I have a strange problem. I installed Postman following the instructions from the Internet. Now it can be opened, works fine etc. but icon is not displayed. occupies a place, shows that it is open and it writes a name when it crosses over it but irritates me because it can not be seen. What is the problem and how can I fix it? I tried to reinstall it and same happened...

Solution

You might want to edit the desktop entry file at /usr/share/applications/postman.desktop

Example postman.desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Postman
Exec=postman
Icon=/opt/Postman/resources/app/assets/icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;

Also, I learned that they had updated the icon path in the latest releases. So, you can just go ahead and change the path of icon at .desktop file.

In Ubuntu 20.04, I had the same problem. I solved by changing the icon path to Icon=/opt/Postman/app/resources/app/assets/icon.png

This answer isn't valid anymore. I'm working with v7.36.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and still the issue persists.

For 8.5, try sudo ln -s /snap/postman/current/meta/gui/postman.desktop /usr/share/applications/postman.desktop
