openCPN on Linux Mint so far....

installed, also maps without problem.

Hi to all...

Now I can not find any Link not in Menues nor on Desktop for starting openCPN:
I always must go to the app manager and start them from there:

I did not find the program -
where is this installed ?

Linux Mint 64 - Tricia 19.3

Try Menu -> Education -> OpenCPN, it should be there.

TNX, but unfortunally nothing at Menues. I looked vy exactly.
Also Education (Ausbildung) I have not as group.
One time will find out..

In Kubuntu you find O in Education/Science.
I'm not familiar with Mint..... Have you looked in the desktop folder? That could be an alternative if the distro want to pander to Win users.

There is of course always the option to edit the menu and add a link to OpenCPN under whatever heading you like.
You cold also add a link to O in your $HOME folder, or any other folder.

I'm just testing Mint20.
LennartG, above, is spot on.
OpenCPN is in Menu->Education.
There is a search function in Menu. Use it.
The OpenCPN executive is called "opencpn".
Any installed executive in Linux can be from the command line with "which".

$which opencpn

which (!) should return

/usr/bin/opencpn

Here is my post for opencpn on mint 19.

The post starts to describe the file system I built which was quite successful (for me). It makes OCPN file system unbreakable. You can add on auto backup for the RAM disk OCPN directories to a synchronous secondary file system and then you can have your settings persist across reboot.
