Installing Openbuilds Control on Raspberry Pi 4 - Launch from .desktop file fails #399

Description

@CodehunterWorks

Hello!

I have installed OpenBuilds Control on a Raspberry Pi 4 according to https://github.com/OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL/wiki/Installing-on-Pi4

After the installation process and a reboot, I see an Icon on the desktop named "OpenBuilds CONTROL". When I click it, nothing happens. Then I open the properties of the .desktop file, I see the following command line:

bash -c "cd ~/OpenBuilds-CONTROL; git fetch --all; git reset --hard origin/master; MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=-GL_MESA_framebuffer_flip_y ~/OpenBuilds-CONTROL/node_modules/.bin/electron ~/OpenBuilds-CONTROL"

Now I open an bash window and paste exact this command and press enter - OpenBuilds Control starts without problems. The installation seems to be ok.

Back on the .desktop properties, I check the "Execute in terminal" option, save the properties and click the Desktop icon again. Now it opens a terminal window for a moment and closes it again. No text output on it.

The same issue appears to the OpenBuilds CONTROL link in the start menu.

My final goal is to get OpenBuilds Control running from autostart when Raspbian boots into lightdm. The Raspberry is attachted to an touch monitor and I want to use it without mouse and physical keyboard because of dusty environment in my workshop. Therefore it is not really a comfortable way to copy the command from the .desktop file properties into an new shell window using only the touchscreen ;-)

Thanks and Greets
