Hi, I do not have Trixie but, as a point of comparison, in my Bookworm system, the LXDE desktop toolbar (provided by lxpanel) application start menu is activated to appear by an lxpanelctl menu command, and navigating that menu finds the handbrake menu entry at Sound & Video > Handbrake One thing that you are missing is that there are better ways to investigate your issue than using 'find' or 'locate'. Can you share how does your output of the below commands compare with mine? $ apt list --installed handbrake Listing... Done handbrake/stable,now 1.6.1+ds1-1 amd64 [installed] $ type ghb ghb is /usr/bin/ghb $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/ghb handbrake: /usr/bin/ghb $ When I run 'ghb' command in a GUI terminal emulator, 'handbrake' starts exactly the same as if I use the application start menu mentioned above.
