I have .desktop file on my desktop that serves as a launcher for my application. Recently, i changed the command line for that launch and now clicking on the shortcut gives no visible effect.

Here are contents of .desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]

Name=World of Tanks

Exec=sudo -u windows -H env WINEPREFIX="/home/windows/.wine-wot" wine C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\WotLauncher.exe

Type=Application

StartupNotify=true

Icon=7680_WoTLauncher.0

Command in Exec entry works fine when launched from terminal. Sudo is configured so that no password is required (only for those 2 commands for that user).

What could be the reason for failure to launch via shortcut? How can i try and fix or diagnose this situation?

  • try quoting the path "C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\WotLauncher.exe", or wrapping the command in bash -c "COMMAND GOES 'ERE"

Try quoting the path - e.g: 

"C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\WotLauncher.exe"

you can also try wrapping the command in:

bash -c "COMMAND GOES 'ERE"
