Something must have gone wrong here...
I changed the desktop file but no Lazarus showed up so I tried to run
the Exec command from a terminal instead:

bosse at polaris-ubuntu:~$ /bin/bash -l
/home/bosse/dev/lazarus/2.0.8/startlazarus
--pcp=/home/bosse/.lazarus_2.0.8 %f

/home/bosse/dev/lazarus/2.0.8/startlazarus:
/home/bosse/dev/lazarus/2.0.8/startlazarus: cannot execute binary file
