Hi all,
i am an Ubuntu newbie and i have one question:

How can i identify the directory's location of the installed software which i installed their form Synaptic??

are there some commands to check taht?

where are the installed software and packages usually installed?

thanks in advance

Typically things are installed to /usr/bin or /usr/sbin. You can check packages by doing whereis packagename or which packagename.

check the location of the fiel
 

Hi again,

is there any command to check where the header oder source files are located?? something like that: command header.h

please help

Usually kernel source and headers get installed to the /usr/src directory. You might need to install a package for the kernel source or kernel headers.

To view the files installed by synaptic for a package, select the package, then Properties->Installed Files. Generally, user executables installed by synaptic will go in /usr/bin.

You can see all files installed from package by dpkg -L <packagename> command.

thanks a lot for your response..
