Looks like desktop file didn't created. It's strange because open(<dir_name>, w) should create file if it not exist already.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "c_desktop.py", line 20, in <module> f = open(d_dir, "w+") FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/pi/Desktop/commanderpi.desktop'
I've added exception handling for that

@Jerry8538 seems to indicate that this failure was caused because the ~/Desktop folder does not exist.
