I would congratulate Tony on actually being keen enough to find and join the appropriate mailing list. Most people would just give up straight away and move on, leaving the developers totally unaware that nobody can use their program! Try to be a little more explicit. Did you check the logs? Did you try to open a terminal window, and type 'dosemu', or 'xdosemu'? If so, which messages appear on the screen? Did you edit the /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf file for your needs? Did you install the freedos package too (else you will have nothing to run in your dos session). These are all good suggestions but some of them will mean nothing to some- one who just clicked install dosemu and then tried to run it from a menu!

Maybe if all applications logged their errors to a common place and there was a GUI for viewing logs in all linux distributions then at least the right error message could be found! Something like the event viewer in Windows. Tony, have a look in /var/log/syslog and in the .xsession-errors file in your home directory. Try to re-run dosemu and see if any new errors appear. Open a terminal window (console / Konsole / XTerm or similar) and run xdosemu and look for errors. If that doesn't work try dosemu. Report the errors here, or to the Ubuntu people.
