Finding synaptic-installed programs in apps menu [solved]

[Wolfie Lee]

Hello, I just installed "libebook-tools-perl" and "convlit" through synaptic, and cannot figure out how to launch either program. I tried just opening the files I wanted converted, but openoffice opened them, just as always (and cannot recognize the character encoding standard). I also tried right clicking and open with other app, and they do not show up in the list of options.

I Googled Convlit Ubuntu, And found several threads that might help, since I don't Know what it is Or what you want to do (e books?) I hold off on posting the links as they may not be what you are looking for but google around !

Got it done, thanks. There are many ways to get it done in Linux, but I did not realize that everything would be so complicated just to convert .lit files to .pdf in linux. It is past my bedtime , and I had no patience tonight to struggle through complicated (non- .deb) installations, only to THEN have to struggle through cli commands just to get a few files converted...call me a wuss if you will , but I switched over to a Windoze rig and used ABC Amber lit converter (a GUI - based batch converter I knew nothing about, either).
