CrashPlan only loads from terminal, not desktop



I couldn't find this particular problem I'm having, so here it goes.




On Ubuntu 14.04, I can successfully launch CrashPlan by typing sudo CrashPlan or sudo /usr/local/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanDesktop.



However, when I try to click on the Launcher CrashPlan icon or the desktop icon, nothing happens. The program does not launch. It only works via terminal, for some reason.



What can I do to make the icons work?



CrashPlan desktop does not require sudo (or gksudo in the case of the graphical launcher). Sounds like your install did not run properly. I recommend you reinstall CrashPlan.
