Hello friends
I have installed VLC on mu fedora17 from Rpmfusion repository using command "yum install vlc".
it got installed nice and fine and i was been able to play a mp3 song but after i restarted my system i was unable to find my installed vlc.

What do you mean you weren't able to find vlc? What about typing "vlc" in terminal?

Mr. Alex was saying to open aterminal, it's available even in gui,you should be able to find it in your menu

Gnome 3 at its best...
I'm sure you can add vlc to your menu. There must be a function somewhere since vlc is installed in your system.

2 ideas:
1. look to see if Gnome 3 has a menu editor.
2. Set a keyboard shortcut lo launch it with the media key (if your computer has one) or something like Super [aka the windows key] + v.

To add a program to menu right-click on desktop enter command "alacarte" it will allow editing menu. Or just go to "Main Menu" in applications.
