I am new to Dosbox and Linux. I started a mandrake 10.0 system a couple of days ago and got Dosbox working on it with Make. A friend recommended that I try Ubuntu, so I loaded it and liked it. I wanted to get Dosbox again so I went to system>administration>synaptic package manager, searched for and found Dosbox and apparently successfully installed it on my system. It didn't show up in my applications menu, but I found the executable in /usr/bin. I ran it and nothing happened. I ran it in a terminal, and nothing happened. I closed the terminal, opened another one and entered $ dosbox --version and got the reply 0.63. I rebooted and tried again with the same results. I read the FAQs and readme files and found nothing. I searched the web and found nothing. I reinstalled Dosbox. Anyone know what might be going on? On a side note, in the system monitor it shows Dosbox running as "uninterruptable" and I can't end the process. In fact, it shows a Dosbox entry for every time I enter Dosbox in the terminal. Right now there are 6 of them in there.
