    Occasionally, some apps won't show in the menu until you restart X, while certain other apps are not meant to show up in the menu at all. Most apps will show in the menu right after Synaptic finishes up with installing them.

    What application did you install?

    The best way (in my opinion) to run TestDisk is by running it directly from a LiveCD, such as Parted Magic.

    If you've burned the ISO file to the disk correctly, put the disk in your CD/DVD drive, set your machine to boot from the CD/DVD drive, then reboot.

    Your machine should boot from the Parted Magic LiveCD and you can run TestDisk from there.
