### Additional Information

This looks like an issue with the .desktop file, as I believe it contains the icon information. How did you install Mattermost on your system?

[jclab-joseph]

I downloaded and unpacked the tar archive.
Can I regenerate the desktop file? but the app icon path is correct.

[devinbinnie]

Yes, did you run this script? It's provided for you in the .tar file.

[jclab-joseph]

It was created as below, and even when I run it, the icon does not appear.

[Desktop Entry]

I can't reproduce this I'm afraid, perhaps try restarting your session or remaking the .desktop file. Which window manager are you using? I was able to get it working with default GNOME
