32 bit panda-glGo install on 64 bit system

[hrutie-ubuntuusers at yahoo.com]

 2009-02-05

started synaptic package manager from su.
searched for "go".
found listed as installed
 qgo   version 1.5.4-r2-1
 gnugo version 3.7.11-2
removed both of them

qgo was not shown in applications > games

reinstalled ggo and gnugo using synaptic package manager

Saw this in details window of package manager:
Selecting previously deselected package gnugo.
(Reading database ... 285804 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking gnugo (from .../gnugo_3.7.11-2_amd64.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package qgo.
Unpacking qgo (from .../qgo_1.5.4-r2-1_amd64.deb) ...
Setting up gnugo (3.7.11-2) ...

Setting up qgo (1.5.4-r2-1) ...

Then did
$ whereis qgo
qgo: /usr/games/qgo /usr/share/man/man6/qgo.6.gz

and

$ ls -l /usr/games/qgo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2110968 2007-12-13 16:57 /usr/games/qgo

Looked in applications > games
and do not see any iccon for qgo or gnugo between
Potato Guy and Robots.

Did ls -alt > ~/x.txt and attached that file.

Running command qgo from home directory starts what is label
 qGoClient V1.5.4 in the banner at the top of the window.

Information about my environment:
from system monitor:

Release 8.04
Kernel Linux 2.6.24-23-generic
GNOME 2.22.3


Do you want other information?

I assume I am doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Howard

I'm not sure I understand the problem actually. If it's qGo not showing
in the menus, I've had installed qGo on i386 through Breezy to Hardy and
AFAIR it's always shown in the menus at Applications>Games. On Intrepid
amd64 which I'm using atm, it's the same.

(Versions of qGo prior to Gutsy had segfault problem, but it's solved
now (and I provided a package for Dapper on qGo's site, but Dapper is
ending its life soon anyway).

If none of you have qGo showing in the menus, could you try reinstalling
the packages, and if it still doesn't show up could you tell us the
result of the command:

qgo

launched in a terminal?

(sorry I'm also CC-ing you, but if there's a problem with qGo in
certain
releases of Ubuntu I'd certainly like to know)
