The Unity Desktop

Unity Desktop – 8 Things To Help You Master It
7. The HUD:
The HUD (Heads Up Display) is a new, alternative way of accessing
application menus.
Instead of clicking the menu, press the Alt key and start typing a menu
item’s name. You can search for and activate menu options without
touching the mouse.
8.Keyboard Shortcuts Cheat Sheet
Unity has a lot of keyboard shortcuts, but you don’t need to remember
them. Press and hold the Super (Windows) key and you’ll see a
keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet.
When you press and hold the Super key, you’ll also see numbers over
the application icons on the launcher. Use these numbers in combination
with the Super key to switch to or launch applications.
For example, if the Firefox icon is in second place, we can press Super-2
to launch or switch to Firefox.

Navigating the File System & Your Home Folder

File Management
The Home Folder is used to store the files and work of each individual user.
This is the most important folder on the system, and can be compared to
“My Documents” in Windows. Each user has a separate home folder.


File Management
Desktop:The Desktop folder is inside the Home folder and contains files
that visually appear on the desktop as icons.
If a file is dragged onto the desktop, it will appear in the Desktop folder. As
well, removing a file from this folder will remove it from the desktop
Documents: Documents can be saved in this folder in order to keep the
Home folder organized.
Downloads: When downloading files from email or a web browser, this is
the default folder in which they will be saved.
Pictures: When downloading from your camera, this is the default location
where the photos will be stored


File Management
Protected System Files: The core files required to operate are protected
and have limited file permissions. Root owns them and therefore other users
are unable to delete them or change them. However you can copy them

Connecting to the Internet or Network

Network Connections
Network Connections: If your device is not auto detected, then you
can launch this utility from the Dash to manually install the device,
especially USB modems.
As well, you can click on the network icon in the indicator panel to see
a list of available connections

How to Add, Remove & Update Applications

Ubuntu Software Center vs Apt-get
Ubuntu Software Center..is great to use as it has the correct version
of the software application for your Ubuntu release.
Software Sources As long as you have enabled the partner sources
under the 'other' tab, you will be able to download the packages listed
in the Software Center (Edit > Software Sources). Once you change
the sources though, it is advised to update the package repository

How to Add, Remove & Update Applications

Ubuntu Software Center vs Apt-get
APT(Advance Packaging Tool) is a command line tool which allows
you to easily install or remove packages. Basic commands include:
apt-get install {package name}
apt-get remove {package name}
apt-get –purge remove {package}
apt-get update

Using the Command Line -Tips & Tricks

Use the tab key to auto complete your file names



Use the up & down arrows to show recently used commands



Files in the Home Directory are capitalized such as Documents & Desktop



History will show a list of recently used commands



Uname -a will quickly tell you what type of OS is installed (i386 or AMD64)

Basic Commands

1. Create a text file with gedit
2. Type in the following...this is my first command line exercise in Ubuntu
3. Save it to your desktop & name practice.txt
We will use this file to practice our commands today
ls: Lists the files in the current directory.
EG: ls
You can type ls -l to see all the file information including permissions and owner
EG: ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives
less: allows you to view/display a file contents
EG: less ~/Desktop/practice.txt
gedit: opens the text editor like notepad, so you may modify files.
EG: gedit ~/Desktop/practice.txt (now add another line of text then save)

Basic Commands

pwd: shows the current working directory
cd: Allows user to change directories. When opening a terminal, a user will be in their
home directory. As a shortcut , substitute ~ in place of the home directory eg:
home/user1/Desktop is the same as ~/Desktop
EG: cd ~/Documents
mv: Moves a file to a different location or renames a file.
EG: move ~/Desktop/practice.txt ~/Documents/practice.txt
EG: move ~/Documents/practice.txt ~/Desktop/practice2.txt
cp: Makes a copy of a file
EG: cp ~/Desktop/practice2.txt ~/Documents
rm: Removes or deletes a file or an empty directory
EG: rm ~/Desktop/practice.txt (it does not work on directories that contain files)
