/usr/local/bin is only used for your self compiled programs, not for 
programs from Ubuntu packages. Additionally, some programs like shells 
are in /bin and programs for system administration are in /sbin and 
/usr/sbin. And if you want to know where the binary is, you can use the 
command

whereis <programname>

in a terminal where you replace the <programname> with the name of the 
command you want to know.
