Goobox installation

[YoungCthulhu]

I have installed Goobox but cannot get it to appear on my main menu. I have used both Synaptic and sudo apt-get install goobox. Both install it or rather, re-install it so I guess it is in its right location.

System > Preferences > Main Menu tool can't find it and I have tried a couple of times to create a launcher for it by right clicking on the desktop.

I get the following message when I try to run it:


Details: Failed to execute child process "/usr/share/menu/goobox" (Permission denied)

I tried to locate the goobox file that makes the whole thing go, but the choice is rather large: :lolflag:

Can anyone tell me please:


Where is the script/executable file that I should point the launcher to?
How can I invoke a program launcher from the command line?
Is it a matter of just running the launcher as root and if so, how?
Should I be looking somewhere else entirely?


Thankyou in advance for any suggestions or advice you may have.

Cheers

what happens when you just run goobox from the terminal, or from the run dialog (alt+F2)?

Thanks aeiah,

Finally managed to get around to try that and it worked :) . I was looking for an executable file or a script to feed to the program launcher, but it worked with just "goobox".

Cheers
