Re: [tlug] Am I supposed to just know what I've installed?

TLUG,

The subject line may sound like a really dumb question, but bear with me.

I found this really great utility for configuring my Wacom tablet that I want to try out:
http://alexmac.cc/tablet-apps/


Happily, it even comes with an Ubuntu-ready deb package. Sweet.

So I download it, and install it, and then... I have no idea how to start it.

What is the standard way of determining the way to run a newly installed app?


I'd start with listing the contents of the package.

You probably downloaded and installed tablet-apps_0.3.1-0_i386.deb, sp the name of the _package_ is tablet-apps. Try running

   dpkg -L tablet-apps

You are most likely interestd in files in some kind of bin-directory.

kind regards,

-sig
