Finding the right command is effortless, us locate or whereis.billy8580 wrote:I've used the new Darnya XFCE beta. I know that adding a launcher to a panel is trickier in XFCE than the simple drag method you can do in gnome. It involves getting the command in, proper icon etc. Adding it to the desktop is a snap though. Just right click. Maybe that was something that you found out already however. Also, to give you confidence in Mint XFCE on an older laptop....i have run Xubuntu on a 333 Celeron and it works just fine. Im sure Mint XFCE would be great as well.
The bold line told me the executable, then I can check the command:locate xmoto wrote:/usr/share/games/xmoto

That did not bring anything new to the picture, as locate had already found the command (xmoto), but anyway, I now know the exact command to launch xmoto and where that is placed. I could first try to launch by just typing xmoto, if that fails I would use the full adress (/usr/games/xmoto)whereis xmoto wrote:xmoto: /usr/games/xmoto /usr/share/man/man6/xmoto.6.gz
