This basically to do with cuttlefish(The app from showdown) in this case.
I cant find the location of the executable file for it.
The command whereis
did not give any results!
I want to add it to my start up applications and thus i need the path!
P.S: the preferences of the app are not showing up and ticking against the start automatically thing when the settings for the 1st time showed up is not working!.
So i need to find out the executable/bin file…
How do i do this?

You can use
apt-file search <package-name>
ordpkg -S <package-name>
, where<package-name>
is the package you want to search.Note that these commands will output many results. To find the required package use
grep
:apt-file search package | grep -E "(bin/)?package$"
OR
dpkg -S package | grep -E "(bin/)?package$"
This searches the lines whose last word is
package
and may or may not be preceded bybin/
, for example it will result both/usr/bin/package
and/usr/anydirectory/package
.
