Apologies if you are already aware -

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-optimus/+bug/1843341

So on 19.10 in a VM (i.e. no prime/nvidia etc) there is crash report for every login.

Happy to throw a PR - just shout if you want me to - suggest a try except around Popen type statements. Also maybe use the full path for Popen executables otherwise will open exe's from the path rather than from the system (potential security issue?)
