I had a problem when updating PyCharm to 2019.1.1. It complained about a missing write permission to some file jre64/bin. I ran pycharm.sh as root (after reading this

I realized that updatedb (and therefore locate) did not find files on my additional SDD. This SDD was mounted in my /etc/fstab as follows:

# LS 20150919 UUID=4bd37ec4-1371-4b13-b43e-9ec125fad143 /media/dell1tb ext4 defaults 0 2

And yes, my /etc/updatedb.conf says:

PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /var/spool /media /var/lib/os-prober /var/lib/ceph /home/.ecryptfs /var/lib/schroot"

And I don’t want to remove /media from PRUNEPATHS.

I also had a symbolic link /home/luc/dell1tb which points to /media/dell1tb.

I now removed that symbolic link and have fstab mount the SSD device directly to /home/luc/dell1tb.

Afterwards I had to repair a few things which had been relying on /media/dell1tb:

For example a series of symbolic links in my home directory (Documents, Downloads, Videos, work, vbshared2, etc.)

Or my virtualenvs… I recreated the default py3 env using my script install_dev_projects.sh (which I updated en passant).

I still have a series of warnings when I invoke PyCharm:

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.
