Forge is not showing on the list of installations. Version 1.16.4. Ubuntu 20.4.1

[Rga31]

I installed Minecraft 1.16.4 a few days ago and played a game

Today I tried to install forge-1.16.4 but it is not appearing on the list of available installations.

I have re-run the forge install several times and every time it says it has installed successfully.

I have made sure that the Modded option is checked.

I have restarted my computer

 

My system is Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.

 

I am now out of ideas and wondering if anybody can help?

What puzzles me is if i move the minecraft folder the loader still works. This suggest to me that it is not installed where it appears to be which would explain why forge is not appearing????

It is a launch mixup! I had installed a launcher from the abuntu software tool to get the latest version as the 1.16.4 but i have no idea how it where it has installed.
