How to start freecell, installed from software center

Question

Freecell Solitarire won't load on Ubuntu 13.04. In the software center it appears as Installed but doesn't appear in Search.

Uninstalling and reinstalling did not help.

As a workaround, would it be possible to start FreeCell from Terminal and then make a shortcut on it to my desktop.

What command do I use to start a prrogram/application from Terminal? Or is there a better way?

Search for Sol in dash !enter image description here Once it opens, click on game, and choose select game. when it opens navigate to freecell, and select it. !enter image description here !enter image description here !enter image description here !enter image description here Or start it from terminal as the bkd.online stated in his answer. — Mitch, May 2, 2013 at 20:23
great, thanks. I remembered that there was a drop down somewhere, but I couldn't find it. — user91472, May 4, 2013 at 18:16
