cant seem to open it,
after installing the .deb (it also shows properly installed in the packet manager)
i cant find any entries like "easykubuntu", cant run it in running a command
maybe i did something awfully wrong because im a ultra noob with linux, maybe im using the wrong comand ("easykubuntu")
some help would be nice

[sinbad782]

That's strange. It should add an entry to the K-menu under 'System'.

[Greyfoxwolf]

yeah thats the strange part
it doesnt show any shortcuts in the menu, and i am SURE the package was installed
for some reason the package manager doesnt create shortcuts for a lot of programs, but atleast i can find entries on my linux partition, if i search for easykubuntu, cant find any files ore directories. ill try installing it again
maybe ill be lucky this time and qoutes some code if necesary

[Greyfoxwolf]

well...i reinstalled it again
$ cd /home/brimstone/Downloads
$ sudo dpkg -i easykubuntu-en-03.deb

yeah i know dutch...sry its not english, its just dutch because my dad can work on it propperly, or else he is totaly lost.
anyway i didnt get any errors and kynaptic shows there is a package named easykubuntu installed, but i cant seem to find it or run the command "easykubuntu"

EDIT: i just opened the .deb and searched for the installation paths.....none of the files are to be found on the paths stated in the .deb file

[sinbad782]

hi again, I had a look at the source code of the 0.3 version (just a bash script really) and the launcher is actually called via 'lancement'. Try issuing a

# lancement

command in a terminal and that should get you started.

[Greyfoxwolf]

well......after i totaly screwed up my network configurations i decided to reinstall kubuntu. now, if i install easykubuntu it all works, i am mystified i dont know how on earth i screwed up my system so bad that it wouldnt install a simple .deb strange.... 8-[ anyway, to be short, i reinstalled kubuntu...problem solved

PS: sinbad782 thanks for the effort to help me out, much apreciated
