The situation: You found this great new application in Synaptic so you installed it. But wait… where is it? It’s not in my gnome menu. This guide will show you where you can find the said application.
As an example we will be installing ntfs-3g in Synaptic and seeing where it is installed.
First we need to open Ubuntu’s terminal. Click “Applications”, “Accessories” and click “Terminal”. You should now see a window like this…
Copy & paste this text into the terminal:
which ntfs-3g
Your window should now look something like this…
Press enter on your keyboard and this window now opens…
You will now see where the application is to run ntfs-3g.
