missing app after dkpg .deb

(1/4) > >>

Devillion:
I downloaded a .rpm of "LiVES"

After it kpackage crashed my computer a few times while trying to install the .rpm file, i decided to do an "alien" and convert it to ".deb"

So now i have the file in ".deb" format.

I do a standard dpkg on the file, and it says that the package has been installed.

When i check the status, it says that it is-

root@libranet:/home/mike# dpkg -s LiVES
Package: lives
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: alien
Installed-Size: 775
Maintainer: root <root@localhost>
Version: 0.8.5-2
Description: The Linux Video Editing System
 LiVES (the Linux Video Editing System) is a simple to use, yet powerful
 video effects and editing system. It uses commonly available tools (mplayer,
 ImageMagick, and GTK+, so it should work on most Linux systems.
 .
 (Converted from a rpm package by alien.)


But i cant find the application. Anywhere. Where the heck is it?

Ask your system.
As root:
find / -name "*name*"

Their are more functions for find.

For info type:
man find

you could look for it's size...

PS: Does it start?( type lives )

Yea, i tried to run it under all the names i could think of (ie lives LiVES lives-0.8.5 etc etc).

And i tried the find options, the ones that would've helped, and nothing was found.

wtf?
