Tell a bit more

What are you trying to install ?
How are you trying to install ?
From where ? From repositories ?
Do you get error messages ?

With the konsole:

sudo apt-get install <package>

You should get an error message, if you are trying to install a package from the repositories.


How did you try to run the program ?
Did you get error messages ?

With the konsole:

<executable>

You should get more information (errors).


Example:

Package: VLC is installing

dpkg -L vlc

/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/qvlc
/usr/bin/svlc
...
/usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop
...

=> VLC will start with the
qvlc, svlc and vlc in the konsole

:~$ vlc
VLC media player 0.9.8a Grishenko
[00000001] main libvlc debug: VLC media player - version 0.9.8a Grishenko - (c) 1996-2008 the VideoLAN team

I've seen that when you install something from the repositories it will NOT appear in the menu until you reset x-windows. Perhaps that's what this fellow is talking about.

Just today I installed gimp using adept. Adept reported all was well, but when I checked the Kickoff Application menu it wasn't there. Logged of - restarted X (via Alt-E) and re-logged and it was there.

I've seen this on every application I've installed so far.
