I have encountered a problem which I cannot seem to resolve. I have gone through countless forums looking for similar problems which I am sure others have had. I just cannot see the forest for the trees, so please forgive the question. Here goes:
I have downloaded various programs and opened with GDebi Package installer. It seems to be installing the program. Upon completion, i look for the program to start it. Wink, for example, shows up the Sounds And Video menu. I click and nothing happens though. And this is occurring a lot. I click on a supposedly installed program and nothing happens. I search Synaptic and it shows its installed. Am having a blonde moment (no insult intended) and just cannot grasp what I need to do to get these programs to work. I have tried commands in terminal, I have reinstalled, apt-get, synaptic. Istanbul, among several others, does the same. It shows up in the menu, yet does nothing when I click.
I also installed povray. It doesn't even show up in the menu. Yet Synaptic tells me it's there. Can someone enlighten me a bit?
Thanks
