I'm trying to run an .appimage in Pop OS 22.04 that requires the command --disable-gpu-sandbox.

It works fine when launching from terminal, but when I create a .desktop file with the below:

Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Path=/home/evan/installs
Exec=zoho64.AppImage --disable-gpu-sandbox
Name=ZohoMail
Icon=home/evan/installs/icon-zoho.png

I get the following error:

./zoho.desktop: line 6: --disable-gpu-sandbox: command not found

Sorry if this is a no-brainer, I'm a newbie just trying to leave Windows behind.

    In what context are you getting this error? Are you trying to execute the .desktop file as a shell script by any chance? – steeldriver Aug 13 '22 at 01:05
  • I put a first line `[Desktop Entry]` into my desktop files. - By the way, did you try according to [this tutorial](https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/run-appimages.html#integrating-appimages-into-the-desktop)? It seems to me, that you need not create any desktop file manually, there are appimage tools that should fix it. – sudodus Aug 29 '22 at 12:15
