You can look in (through a terminal or file manager) /usr/bin to see if there is a program in there with a similar name.
On occasion the packaging for the programs is older and a desktop file does not get installed, or doesn't even have a desktop file. You can check in: /usr/share/applications to see if there is a desktop file with your program name. I don't know how the Lubuntu menu system works, but you might run (from a terminal): update-menus There are many packages with outdated style. So this may be a bug for those programs. You may need to manually make a desktop file as a workaround (if you find something in /usr/bin but not in /usr/share/applications) -- Regards
