Not seeing installed hello application

[sukumark123]

Hi,

I am using Qt creator. Developed Hello application and ran successfully to see hello world on simulator. I selected option to create build for maemo device.

I found c:\users\sukumar\Helloword\helloworld_0.1_armel.deb. I copied to MyDocs folder on n900 device. I opened xterm
and ran

sudo gainroot
dbpk -i helloword_0.1_armel.deb

I saw following message
Reading database... 27752 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replafcfe helloworld .1 (using heloword_0.1_armel.deb)...
unpacking replacement heloword...
Setting up Helloword(0.1)

But I can't see hello world program in applications. I am beginner for both maemo and Qt. Appreciate any help.

Hi,

After you installed your file using dpkg-i command , check that your package is installed or not.

Command to check this is dpkg-L <your package>.

dpkg -L will show whether the package is installed. If the package is installed dpkg will show related files and their locations whithin the filesystem.

Hope this will helps you.

Hi,
do you have a desktop file in there?

The most likely you have the same problem as james1980 in this thread, desktop file is missing or installed in improper place
