Where do I find my Apps? - BlackSpy - 2006-06-04

Hello:

I think that I installed an app correctly. Where the heck do I find the executable?

Also, is a toaster, the full download or is it just the patches for the program?

Thanks

it depends on what you have installed and in what distro, but in most cases you can find the application by typing it's name in a console (terminal)

cheers

It depneds how the application was installed. If you did it with YAST then it will normally come with its own menu entries etc for your desktop.

However if you did it from source, then the icons/menu entries will not exist. You can do this to try and find the programs.

You could just try to type the command into a shell .. and see if it opens:

Code:
program

Or try

Code:
which program

Or open a root shell and do this (might take a while to complete):

Code:
updatedb && locate program | grep bin

That should list out where it finds the program, you can then make an icon/menu to add it into your Desktop.
