@almessare Which version of Linux are you on? Are you able to launch Brackets in spite of the error above? After the installation, try typing brackets in the terminal and see if you are able to launch Brackets.

It's the same issue as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/13954

Here still at the same point too. Re-installed, launched from the console and indeed it launch but still no menus and still the same xdg-icon-resource: size argument must be numeric error on install. (Xubuntu 17.10 32bit)

With 2000+ Issues it take some courage to be into the maintainers team, so i'll maybe just switch to another editor and wait for 1.12 if the xdg-icon-resource issue falls under the radar.

But still hope i'll find a way to be back in Brackets is just Great.

i found a solution i gues... just need to open from root console using these commands:
sudo su
brackets -i --no-sandbox

i hope you help

@markreznor Thank-you so much! It worked! I too had problem launching it in Kali Rolling.

i'm not an expert, just a curious person but...

there's a file called "postinst" on the /DEBIAN/ folder. It's the only file i found that has a XDG_ICON_RESOURCE thing:
