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.)
Menu items are created by .desktop files, one of each program.

I recently spent more than a full day fixing my menus to be the way I
want them and figuring out how to do it.

Thanks, John. I may need to fool with that one of these days.
