How to find where a program lives to add to the Startup Application Preferences

Asked by John P Kissell

I added a third party program called VNC. Not sure where it lives. I would like to add this to Startup Applications Preferences so that when I restart Ubuntu this VNC program will start up too?

VNC is not a 3rd party program, it is a protocol.

Did you install a VNC server or client?

What is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep -i vnc

Thanks

The name of the software is realvnc. See http://www.realvnc.com. I'm running dual monitor configuration from Windows XP and when I restart my Ubuntu it does not start the server. I want to be able to add the server executable to the Startup Applications Preferences in Ubuntu. I'm trying to find where the server executable lives or how to tell. I'll try the which command to see if I can find it.

vino is the vnc server in Ubuntu (Installed by default). If you run:

which vino

You will see where the binary is.

Can you help with this problem?
