Hello.I have installed some programs trough the ubuntu software center..now I don't know where they are installed.how to figure it out?

Does this help?

Ubuntu Software Center > Installed Software > Click the program you're interested in - Chromium Web Browser for example > Click More Info.

In the bottom right corner you should see the program name in gray text within parentheses, for example (chromium-browser). Noting that, open Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type


dpkg -L chromium-browser

You should see a list of that program's installed files.

You can also use the whereis command in a terminal window:


> whereis firefox
