Re: [SOLVED] can't run deadbeef from the terminal

You need to find the command to be used. Look in '/usr/bin/' for example, or wherever deadbeef has installed the executable. Have you tried

man deadbeef

How did you install 0xDEADBEEF deadbeef?

Re: [SOLVED] can't run deadbeef from the terminal

Look in '/usr/bin/' for example, or wherever deadbeef has installed the executable

If it's a package build, the executable will be /opt/deadbeef/bin/deadbeef

The packages in the MX Linux and my own jessie multimedia ports repo follow Debian policy and are in /usr/bin...

I'm going to update ffmpeg in it to 3.2.5, and that is going to trigger an automatic rebuild of quite a few packages in there, so it make take an hour or two to shake out.

Doesn't deadbeef drop a desktop file in /usr/share/applications? Check what the Exec= line there says.

Another one:

dpkg -L packagename | grep -E '/s?bin/'

Thank you, using the exec line from the desktop file does the trick.
