I just downloaded and installed virtualbox-5.2_5.2.16-123759~Ubuntu~bionic_amd64.deb using the GDebi Package Installer on my Ubuntu MATE 18.04 machine. The package installer indicates that the program was installed, but there's no entry for it in the Ubuntu MATE menu. A search in that menu for VirtualBoxVM returns empty. How do I find out where it was installed? And, how do I get it into the menu? I suppose I don't really need it in the menu if I can put a launch icon in the panel.


One of the changes in Ubuntu MATE 18.04 is that the entries in the menu bar were reduced to a single Menu. I found a video that pointed out how to use MATE Tweak to return to the Traditional panel layout, which has Applications, Places, and System. Once I did that I was able to find VirtualBox in the Applications > System Tools menu. Why it wasn't in the menu of the "Familiar" layout, I don't know. (Familiar is the name of the default panel layout.)
