When I installed a program under Wine (v9.0), it generated some .desktop files under ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/LTspice. It shows up in the app launcher but does nothing when selected.

I have been changing it trying to get it work for the last hour with no success. Currently it looks like this.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=LTspice
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/me/.wine" /opt/wine-stable/bin/wine /home/me/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/me/AppData/Local/Programs/ADI/LTspice/LTspice.exe
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/me/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/me/AppData/Local/Programs/ADI/LTspice/
Icon=B1B0_LTspice_1.0
StartupWMClass=ltspice.exe

Copy-pasting the Exec line into a terminal opens LTspice just fine. If I move this file to ~/.local/share/applications, gtk-launch LTspice successfully launches the program (because apparently gtk-launch has different search behavior from the app launcher). Still, opening it from the dock or from the app launcher results in a spinning cursor for a few seconds then nothing.

I have made sure the .desktop file is executable and right clicked and selected "Allow Launching" in Nautilus.

Of course, there are no error messages and I can't get a terminal to stay open to actually tell me what is going wrong.

I have also just made a few other .desktop files with no issue for a few other programs (non-wine though).

When I click the suspend button on the top right of the desktop, the screen goes black for a few seconds and wakes up again on the user login screen, except now the keyboard and mouse don't work. It looks almost exactly like what clicking log out does, except the computer becomes unresponsive and requires a hard reboot.

I believe suspend used to work on this computer, but I think it stopped working around the time I started messing with Nvidia drivers (trying to get a new 4k 120Hz display working), but suspend still hangs the computer regardless of using the Nouveau driver or the various Nvidia proprietary ones.

I found references to "suspend" in /var/log/syslog, and this part of the file seems relevant, but I don't know what normal logs look like: https://pastebin.com/dCGGvu9M
