However if it's a remote box... At least via ssh you must use -X when option connecting to be able to run windowed apps. Like this:

If you get the path where the application is installed then you can run the application from there

For example to know the path where google-chrome is located run this command:

whereis google-chrome

You will get the path like:

google-chrome: /usr/bin/google-chrome /usr/bin/X11/google-chrome /usr/share/man/man1/google-chrome.1

Now you can run chrome by either executing two commands:

/usr/bin/google-chrome
/usr/bin/X11/google-chrome

Note: it will be applied for all installed applications. Also, It would be possible that you would not get the path /usr/bin/X11 or would get something different.

Hope you like this way to find the path and run chrome :)

I use this command and it works for me. I too installed it using the .deb package. So this should work for you too. Typing an url after the command opens the url.

However if it's a remote box... At least via ssh you must use -X when option connecting to be able to run windowed apps. Like this:

ssh -X username@server.lt
