I installed glipper 1.0-1.1 on my Ubuntu 9.10, and cannot find a way to execute it. I don't see it in the Applications menu, glipper command from the command line doesn't work.

After installing 11.04 and settling on Ubuntu Classic, I used Synaptic Package Manager to add Glipper, my long-favorite clipboard manager. After some difficulty, I discovered that in 11.04, Glipper is activated by opening the Terminal and issuing the CLI "glipper". This initiates several steps in the Terminal, which for me always failed to conclude. However, after giving up, exiting the Terminal, and doing a number of other things, I had occasion to restart. Following the restart, the Glipper icon was in the panel, and Glipper was working just fine.
FWIW, the difficulties I mentioned above included making several tries at installing ClipIt. In every case, any attempt on my part to actually use ClipIt resulted in a complete freeze. I could recover from these freezes only by cutting off the power to my desktop and then re-powering and re-booting. (Needless to say, ClipIt is no longer installed on my desktop.)
I'd like a working clipboard manager/app. I have tried 2,but neither work:
Parcellite:
Runs but no window appears. ie appears in ps.
Glipper:
Installs but can't get on menu.
I am trying to run a script which would execute once the system start's up. I placed my script in /etc/init.d and made it chmod +x my-script and placed my script path in /etc/rc.local . It works fine in installed environment and its not working in live cd and USB.

I installed qcad earlier today, using Software Center. Qcad didn't show up anywhere in the Applications dropdown menu. When I was running 9.04, it showed up in the Graphics sub-menu, but it's nowhere. Rebooted, nothing. It shows up as installed in the Synaptic Package Manager, but I went ahead and removed and installed it again, rebooting between each operation. (sigh) Still nothing. Now, I'm sure it's in here, but I can't find it. So, I have three questions:
1. How do I start it (or any program) using command line?
2. How do I find it using my Gnome gui, and put it in the applications menu
and
3. Generally, is there a guide that will explain what I'm looking at when I open my File System directory?

I can't find a reference to Postgres - there should be an entry in 'System Settings --> Server Settings --> Services from the main system menu', which I cannot find. Nor can I find it in the Ubuntu software centre. I did find pgAdmin III but have no idea how this works either.

I am a beginner Ubuntu 9.10 user. I downloaded and installed the latest version of the sun VirtualBox. My problem is I cannot find where it is installed and that's why I could not run it. Generally, when I install a program the shortcut appears in the menu "Applications->ClassOfInstalledFile". But Virtual Box did not appear. How to find the icon, or simply how to run this application and have a shortcut of it on the "Applications" menu?

Well, i've been trying lately to get my v4l recognized and well supported tv tuner to work with gv4l http://gv4l.sourceforge.net/.
I've already installed transcode http://www.transcoding.org/

When i am trying to open gv4l a message pops up saying that transcode can't be found or it's not in the programs known path ...
I really need to get gv4l working for tv capture needs cause it supports scheduled captures too without having to get along with mythtv that goes a long way from my purposes...!

Look for yourself [url] select notebook, then readeon, then 4100 series, for ANY operating system, it doesen't have a driver for it.
The first question is: Were is the linux driver for the 4100, and the second, if there is NO propriatary driver installed, will x take full use of the video hardware, or will it be capped and won't work to its fullest potential that it has?

A client has sent me a docx. Actually it's not the first he's sent and it always causes me some kind of problems. When I open the document (a normal boring 3 page text document) with Open Office some of the characters are replaced with little empty boxes. From context I suspect they are things like slashes and commas - but I don't know for sure.
I copy and pasted some into gedit and there they appeared as boxes with letters and numbers inside like FF04. Is there some way to find out what these symbols are? I don't need to see them or print them, I just need to know if it is a plus sign, back slash, u with umlauts, or whatever.
