Open terminal.
Dont use the word RUN.
Just type: pwgen
That's it. That's how mine works, that's how bro should work (less the --help parameters etc).

edit: additional dev question---we use 'run' in some instances but not startup instances, right?

    Justin This instance of bro is from the Solus Software center
    as is pwgen. pwgen works fine with its name typed in Konsole, but bro still not starting up...that I can tell.

        Justin Amiga, or Flatpak or snap I had to cover my bases regarding 'run'!

          catfishsushi For bro I bet the binary name is different than bro. Someone just gave me a terminal command for that. Let me find it and re-edit this reply.

              brent Once the package is installed, you can use something like eopkg info -F <package name> | grep /usr/bin to see the name of the binaries

              THose are all K's words above. I don't have bro installed so I don't know if my binary idea will work but try it catfishsushi

                kyrios Was really hoping that would solve the bro's bro problem, bro🙂

                I guess next stop is terminal message from bro? OR isn't bro an elevated privileges app?

                edit: typo

                    catfishsushi I found in a couple rare instances that I ran an app in the terminal by its name in the software center and it did not work. Because the package name in the software center wasn't it's real name. The real name of an application (that you can run in the terminal) is the binary name.
                    Like I said, it's rare that they don't match, but I wasn't sure the real command wasn't "bro-stable-2019" or something like that. I'm not sure I'm making any sense but it's been a day🙂

                        brent Package names in the repository usually correspond to the original (upstream) repository name and is sometimes prefixed with the language (python, perl, haskell, ...) to avoid issues with package having the same name. Most packages provides many binary names. Bro provides 4 binaries; also it happen during the lifetime of an application that the binary names get changed (although this usually only occurs with applications that provide desktop shortcuts, not CLI ones since it would be a nightmare for the users).

                            Well, bro certainly starts something. bro --help shows you the options. man bro will show you the manual pages. But to really learn how to use it, if you don't know already, you should really read a tutorial.

                              @Staudey checking my NAT in my ISP's modem, i saw several SSH-443 connections that I'm sure are unsolicited, and one, was from the Solus homepage, but i changed all the settings 2 weeks ago, where the homepage for Firefox is duckduckgo, so, why would the Solus Homepage by sending signals to my modem?
