    Temporarily place the script in a directory that does not have special characters (e.g. space) in the path, and adjust the .desktop file accordingly. This is to see if the space character causes the problem. As I vaguely recall, I think spaces have to be denoted by \s in .desktop files. Commented May 11, 2017 at 10:08
