Excellent. This fixed it for me on Ubuntu 19.10 failing to find any other solution. How did you figure that out ?

I found solution and got it running  without problems in Ubuntu 19.04

steps I followed (installed the dependencies)

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev

sudo apt install dfu-util

download  amd64 build of icu 60.1-1 

install the package (open terminal from the file location)

sudo dpkg -i libicu60_60.1-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

download libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4

and install

sudo dpkg -i libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4_amd64.deb

download libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4

and install

sudo dpkg -i  libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4_amd64.deb

after this you should home and dry  :smileycool:

install IDE

open terminal from file location

install.....

sudo chmod  +x ./mcuxpressoide-11.0.0_2516.x86_64.deb.bin

sudo ./mcuxpressoide-11.0.0_2516.x86_64.deb.bin

I tried this solution in debian 10 gnome and I didn't get success.
