I downloaded fedora 29 and installed it as virtual computer to test this situation. I downloaded the latest Loginized-0.2.5 rpm version and installed via command in terminal. dnf localinstall Loginized_0.2.5_x64.rpm Application did install correctly without any issues. It also appeared to the applications menu.

However in order to launch the application you need to install following package in order to run the application __libXScrnSaver.x86_64__

The application is named Loginized to search application you can use command's like whereis Loginized and which Loginized these commands should give you locations like /usr/bin/Loginized which is the executable binary of the Loginized and /usr/share/Loginized which is the install folder of the Loginized application. also the command line interface for the loginized is called loginized-cli this will be installed after the first startup of the application. The location for loginized-cli should be /usr/bin/loginized-cli

If any of locations is missing, or the /usr/share/Loginized is not a directory nor the /usr/share/Loginized is executable binary then something has gone wrong in installation and you need to reinstall the application. Aslo remove these existing files if necessary to give fresh base for installation.

Also to furhter comment on this in order to show the application in application menu there should be desktop file for loginized in /usr/share/applications/Loginized.desktop also the config's of the file is located in /home/user/.config/Loginized this folder can be safely deleted and it will be recreated every launch if it does not exists. However deleting the folder you loose existing setups of the application. But it is good to delete to give fresh base for reinstallation.

I forgot before posting the issues i did trying to search the installed location with that command (which) without any luck

[root@fedora-ahloi]~# which loginized
/usr/bin/which: no loginized in (/usr/libexec/python2-sphinx:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/share/Modules/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
[root@fedora-ahloi]~#

but weird things is i actually found where they installed in /usr/share/Loginized/ ,makes my head scratchy on why it did not installed in bin.

so i just click on the launcher and they work fine thank you for your assisting and trouble, (yours went all the way trouble vm fedora etc, really appreciate it.)!
