Installing TeXmacs doesn't add anything to your menus, so you will have to execute TeXmacs by running the texmacs command from a command line.
Installing Lyx adds the Lyx Document Processor command to the Office menu. (See Chapter 23, "Adding, Removing, and Updating Software," for more detailed information on installing applications using these tools.) Installing Kile adds the Kile - LaTeX Frontend command to the Office menu.

Like texlive, these packages are not installed by default on your Ubuntu or Kubuntu system, but are easy enough to locate and install using the Synaptic Package Manager or Adept Manager. These are the Kile (the KDE Integrated LaTeX Environment), Lyx, and GNU TeXmacs applications, all of which are available in the Ubuntu repositories. It's a good thing that the folks in the world of open source have stepped up to provide graphical solutions for creating and working with documents in LaTeX format. Although command-line utilities such as TeX and LaTeX are easy to use, and the text-based format of TeX and LaTeX files makes them easy to exchange with users of many other computer systems and applications, it's hard to beat the convenience of a graphical application, especially when you're doing something such as word processing. As much of this book shows, it's a graphical world nowadays, and the Ubuntu and Kubuntu distributions provide all of the graphical applications that any computer user expects to find.
