Hi Phil,

I am trying to convert to most recent version of Debian but want to
install additional .deb packages onto the pc. I am a newby - sorry.
Synaptic downloads and installs a package such as mothomatic but once it
has completed the install it does not appear on the desktop to run. The
binary exists within a folder that synaptic places it but the binary
will not run.
This must be a common problem for recent converts from windows. What
missing step is there - there is obviously something else I have to do
to get this and other similar programs appearing in the applications
window ready to run?
thankyou

Something to try:
Open Gnome terminal
Type su ( Press Enter or Return Key)
Supply root password
Type update-menus
