Hello folks,
I really do hate asking as it is far more rewarding to find these things for myself but, I must now ask for assistance. I am using breezy 5.10 and I have used adept to install several programs. As with many n00b's, I cant find them. I used kappfinder and that only found about half of them. I was able to use the edit menu to add a generic icon and run nessus. I dont really like that but, if that is my only choice then so be it. There are other programs that I cant find and dont know the exact name to run it. Is there anything else out there that may do a better job of finding programs or how do I go about finding the correct name to run the program?
Another question, when I use apt-get update, about 20-30 things come up. Almost all appear to be security related. Do I want to install all of them and if so do I have to do it one at a time or there something like apt-get install/all that will do it* for you? Also, games doesnt come up in the kmenu but it does show up in menu editor, any idea how to add it?
Please be kind, I have at least 3 hours of searching between last night and this morning. Most of them on this forum. I also used someones guide to adding more repositories. It worked great and was clearly written, thank you.
EDIT: My sincere apologies, I sorta figure it out a half hour after I post. I ran across a thread where someone asked about synaptic. Just for kicks I looked it up and it looked like an adept alternative so I try it out and viola. Apparently with adept, I was installing the terminal program without a gui. For other new folks, I would highly recommend they use synaptic over adept for that feature alone.
The games folder also appeared once I successfully installed bzflag.
