Ok, I think this might be a real noobs question, but here goes.
I installed a package using Synaptic Package Manager, it seemed to go fine, I marked for install, hit apply and everything seemed to work. However it doesn't appear in my Applications List and it doesn't appear in Ubuntu Software Centre - Installed Software.
I tracked the executable down to /usr/bin When I try to Open it nothing happens and under properties it says the owner is root, so I guess even though I installed it, I don't have the rights to run it ???
Did I install it incorrectly, how do I get it to appear in my Applications ?
