Hi,

I installed the last version of Matlab and set up the matlab.desktop file like this:

[Desktop Entry]

Version=1.0

Type=Application

Name=MATLAB R2024b

Icon=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2024b/matlabicon_256.png

Exec=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2024b/bin/matlab -desktop

Comment=MATLAB

Categories=Development;Science;Math;

Terminal=false

I can see the icon on the dash, but when I open it, it uses a different icon for some reason (something like the ‘settings’ icon). On Ubuntu 22.04, this .desktop file was enough to make the icon appear when I launch the app, but there’s something else on Ubuntu 24.04. What else should I do?
