Hi Uwe,

Not a solution, but a starting point for getting it to work...

Go into the ubuntu vanilla desktop and copy all the settings and switches from 
wherever it's starting properly (menu item I'd guess?).  Also, while in 
Ubuntu, start mathpix from the command line, using the command you copied, so 
you can see what is 'normal.'  If it doesn't run, check/use the other menu 
item's setting/switches until it runs the same on the command line as the 
menu item.

Then, go into TDE and again start mathpix from the command line.  If it works 
the same, then you can most likely manually create a menu item with all the 
copied information.

If that doesn't solve it, paste back the info from both the working Ubuntu 
command line and the non-working TDE command line.  Also paste the results 
of "echo $PATH" from both desktops, just to see if it's a pathing issue.

Best,
Michael
