Ubuntu :: Installed Applications Don't Show Up?
Aug 1, 2009
I've recently tried to install various well known programs however they do not show up anywhere. Even in the home folder they do not show up. It's like they were never installed, but I know for a fact I watched them being installed in the terminal and everything. The application I am most concerned with is ies4linux(mainly because its in the way of my WoW playing). I did the whole cabextract (already have wine) and downloaded the ies4linux file.It runs the installer for it, however it doesn't show in the applications or home folder.

I did find it using "find files/folders" ...in the folder:
There's a file called soffice of Type: Shell script that runs openoffice. How do I add this to my menu?

I feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?

I was wondering if there was any way to remove icons from the installed applications menu?I recently attempted to install GOG.com's Zork Anthology using Wine and when I de-installed, the icons for those files were still listed in installed applications. Is there anyway to delete them manually?

Is there a programmatic way to get the list of all installed applications on Linux.
Also, how can we get the application activities in Linux OS like running applications name, time of day when they started, duration till the applications were running on system, application version etc.
Is there a way to do this in C/C++.
I am building an app that runs like a daemon and fetches the applications status and sends it to the network admin for him to monitor the application usage pattern on the user computers in the network.

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 the other day and learned a lot about it. One thing I noticed quickly is that, the applications to not show up in the task bar, so I have to switch from one to another via ATL+Tab.Many times I accidentally open another thing of Firefox and have two of the same thing open. How do I get it show you can see which apps you have open in the task bar?

Is there a way to make Unity launcher have the open applications/programs at the top?This way I don't have to scroll through the entire launcher to see what is open/running.Or, is there a way of seeing what is open - like <Super>+W but that shows minimised items too?

Often I open FireFox, get information, which I want to save in an OpenOffice Writer or Calc file.So I go to the left lower corner on the screen, tap on Computer, and then on OpenOffice Writer.When the OpenOffice window has opened, I do not see, as I used to do, the FireFox button on the taskbar (or panel), I have to drag the OpenOffice window, so I can access my FireFox window. When I do that, the OO window bounces, which makes me feel rather sea-sick.Is there a way to have the button for the open applications visible on the task bar (or panel) so that I can go immediately to the other open application ?

Happened to me several times already. When I try to launch any application it starts process but there is no window. The only thing that helps is logout/login. I use opensuse 11.4 with kde 4.6. Is there anything to do about it?

I'm used to use several workspaces (6) for completly different tasks. In the netbook edition, the merged launcher/taskbar shows always ALL programs running on all workspaces. I don't like it, because it becomes confusing to have too many symbols from every workspace, even when on the active one only a few applications run. So is there a way to hide application symbols for applications which don't run on the active workspace?

I just want a simple email notifier. I have started to use Ubuntu 10.10 and seem to have downloaded Gmailwatcher - it shows in Applications/Internet/Gmailwatcher. But it doesn't show as installed software in the Installed Software Centre. So, I cant uninstall it. I can't configure it? If I try to open Gmailwatcher I receive a popup asking me to open it from an icon above - but there's no icon there, I just want a simple email notifier - preferably one which I can add an audio alert.

The command time shows the time taken by a command to complete. Is there a command that shows the change in disk usage caused by a command? I would like to know how large a package is when I install it from source.

Some DVDs do often have some scenes with foreign languages translated by forced subtitles.Mplayer gives the possibility to enable or disable subtitles.But if enabled you see the whole movie subtitles unnecessarily.If disabled there are no subtitles altough they were necessary translating some scenes with foreign languages.

I have an issue with my task bars. My task bar that shows my active applications is on the bottom, the expand is disabled and auto hide is enabled. The task bar that has Applications, System, Places, and so on is on the top with the same preference settings. However every time I restart my system both task bars are at the top.

I installed ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and everything worked just fine. When I helped a friend to install it on his laptop unity did not work, only ubuntu classic. On the login screen I choose "ubuntu" and when I log in I get "ubuntu classic" I went back to the login screen and chose "ubuntu classic" and it did the same thing so my question is:
where did unity go?
has anyone else had this issue, I have installed the recommended nvidia drivers and I still don't see unity, I don't know what to do next!

I have installed opensuse 10.3 on my system and after sometimes I installed ubuntu 8.10 on my system from Windows (I just double click ubuntu 8.10 setup and ubuntu 8.10 takes care of the rest of installation.) Now when I start my PC I was displayed a menu from where I have to choose either Windows or Opensuse. When I select windows again I was shown a menu in which I have to choose either windows or ubuntu. I want to make only one menu in which I was shown all three OS installed!

I have installed several applications on my Powerbook running lucid, but when I click the "applications" menu, many of them do not appear on the list. They show in the software install/remove application.
How can I run the unlisted applications?

We all know that we can remove installed applications straight from terminal or ubuntu software center. However, sometimes we download .deb files from the web that are not necessarily on the repository. My question is, how do I uninstall a manually installed deb application?

I know with if statements in bash you can do
Code:
if [ $fruit = apple ]
then echo "Good, I like Apples"
fi
But I was wondering if you could do something like this:
Code:
if [apt-cache pkgnames smbfs = smbfs doesn't exist]
the apt-get install smbfs
fi
If so how would you capture the output from apt-cache pkgname smbfs to determine if it's installed?

I have downloaded a couple of software packages from the ubuntu software center and they are not showing up in the applications menu on top, I have no idea where on the hard drive it stores them so I can find them manually and place a shortcut in the applications menu.
