Comment 11 for bug 275535

I gave up on installing Krmic. So I went back to Jaunty and tried to reinstall everything..on a clean "slate". I downloaded .deb for boxee. My synaptic didnt see it. My add/remove also..didnt see it, after I added source to sources.lst. So I used terminal and now I have an icon and the entire dir is in opt/boxee. Is this where it should be..its the only thing there.
So I thought I would try to run it...nothing. 3 secs of black then nothing. Tried to reinstall...but its nowhere to be found. Using search tool it is just not there. BUT I happen to know form browsing that it is in opt.(IT IS) Also hidden files is checked off. SO its not that.
Why is this group of files invisible??
Recently I had some problems with samba..sharing and I only learned that there are two types of sharing..usershares and samba shares? I was using gksudo natilus to change attributes. So I had problems with login because I didnt Own Home. All of that is fixed. Opt appears to be Root. Full accessable. Read/write.
Why does this program appear to be hidden????
Is it boxee? I dont really think so.
BTW I have ati r300 or somesuch video crd, drivers. Using default video drivers.
