HI all

i just installed Xubuntu ( first time experience with Linux )
so I installed Bittorrent and started to download a file the next time i started Xubun 1f40 tu i couldnt find the installed Programm (Bittorrent) again, and i cant continue downloading my file.
so how do I make desktop icons for my downloaded/installed programms?
and where can i find them anyway???
similar thing with skype: i can see the programm in the application->network though
but when I click it NOTHING happens

so what do I do??

please cold anyone help me out here??

i appreciate every little help

On my default Xubuntu install, there is an option in the Xfce menu, under Accessories, called Appfinder which lists a fair number of applications, some of them not found under other categories of the menu.

If you can't find something that way, you can most likely find it in /usr/bin.

As for creating desktop shortcuts, if you are using Xfce Desktop, right-click and select "Create Launcher...". You can type in anything you want for name, comment, etc., but for command, type in the path to the application you want to run.

For instance, my media player, Quod Libet, is at /usr/bin/quodlibet, so that's what I'd type in the command text box if I wanted to create a shortcut to it.

THANKS FOUND IT!!!!!


i feel kinda stupid for not having seen that...


thanks again
