[SOLVED] Lost my program

[kubobbu]

Used apt-get install to download and install usb-imagewriter. Synaptic listings show it as installed... but I cannot find it.

It is not on my menus in any category, and I have no idea where to look, or what command line string to use to find it.

Where's my program

Using Kubuntu 10.04

Thanks
Bob

Re: Lost my program

some times a program wont show in the menu's untill after a reboot ....dont know the exact reasons but thar ya go.

you can find things with "locate" like

locate usb-imagewriter

BUT it may spit ought a fire hose of info so pipe it through "less" like

locate usb-imagewriter | less

you can refine a search further see

man locate

and you should be able to launch it from a terminal with just

usb-imagewriter

Re: Lost my program

Or hit Alt+F2 and start typing the name you suspect it has.
When right it'll show up.

HUMmm yes much easier :P

Re: Lost my program

If you've recently installed the app and the locate cron utility hasn't run, then you should do

sudo updatedb

first. Then you can do

locate imagewriter | less

or even

locate image | less

or

locate bin/usb-image

Re: Lost my program

Thanks to all for the help. I finally ended up uninstalling, and then re-installing the app, and it finally showed up.

I will mark this one Solved!

Thanks
