|  00.27 
|  For this tutorial I am using '''Ubuntu Linux OS''' 14.04


|-
|  00.34
|  Let's begin with the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  00.36
|  '''Launcher''' is the default left-side '''panel''' in the '''Ubuntu''' '''Linux desktop, '''which has some default applications.

|-
|  00.44
|The '''Launcher''' makes it easy to access frequently used applications.

|-
|  00.49 
|So, we can launch a program by clicking on its "desktop shortcut" on the '''Launcher'''.

|-
|  00.56
|  By default, the '''Launcher '''has some applications.

|-
|  01.00
|  Let us learn to '''customize''' the '''Launcher''' based on our requirements.

|-
|  01.06
|  For my regular work, I need applications like '''Terminal, LibreOffice Writer, Gedit and so on'''.'''

|-
|  01.15
|Let's add these applications on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  01.19
|  Before doing that, I will remove some of the applications which I don't want.

|-
|  01.25
|  Say, I wish to remove the '''VLC '''application.'''

|-
|  01.30
|  So, right-click on the '''VLC '''application icon and select '''Unlock from Launcher.'''

|-
|  01.37
|  You can see that the '''VLC '''application icon has been removed from the '''Launcher'''.

|-
|  01.43
|  In the same way, we can remove all the shortcuts which we don't use frequently.

|-
|  01.49
|  I have removed some applications from the '''Launcher '''on my '''desktop, '''as you can see here.

|-
|  01.55
|  Now, I will add the '''Terminal''' shortcut to the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  02.00
|  Click on '''Dash Home.'''

|-
|  02.02
|  In the '''search bar,''' type “'''terminal'''”.

|-
|  02.05
|  Click on the '''Terminal''' icon to open it.

|-
|  02.09
|  You can see the '''Terminal''' icon on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  02.13
|  To fix the '''Terminal '''icon on the '''Launcher, '''first right-click on it.

|-
|  02.18 
|  Then click on '''Lock to Launcher.'''

|-
|  02.21
|  Another way to fix application shortcuts on the '''Launcher '''is by dragging and dropping. I will demonstrate this now.

|-
|  02.30
|  Open '''Dash Home''' and in the '''search bar, '''type '''libreOffice'''.

|-
|  02.37
|  Drag the '''LibreOffice '''icon onto the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  02.42
|  As we do so, the help text may appear saying “'''Drop to Add application”.''' Don’t worry if no help text appears.

|-
|  02.51
|  Now, drop the '''LibreOffice '''icon on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  02.55
|  You can see that the shortcut is now added to the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  03.00 
|  This is how we can add shortcuts on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  03.04
|  The next important feature in '''Ubuntu Linux OS''' is '''multiple desktop''' or '''Workspace Switcher'''.

|-
|  03.12
|  Sometimes we may be working on multiple applications.

|-
|  03.17
|  And we may find it difficult to switch from one application to another.

|-
|  03.22 
|  To make it more convenient, we can use '''Workspace Switcher.'''

|-
|  03.27
|  Let’s come back to the '''Launcher'''.

|-
|  03.30
|  On the '''Launcher,'''locate '''Workspace Switcher''' icon. Click on it.

|-
|  03.36
|  It shows 4 quadrants with 4 '''Desktops'''. 

|-
|  03.40
|  By default, the top-left '''Desktop''' is selected. 

|-
|  03.44
|  That is the '''Desktop '''in which we are currently working.

|-
|  03.48
|  Now, let’s select the second '''Desktop''' by clicking on it.

|-
|  03.53
|  I will open the '''Terminal''' here by clicking on the icon in the '''Launcher'''.

|-
|  03.59
|  Now, click on the '''Workspace Switcher '''again'''.'''

|-
|  04.02
|  You can see the '''Terminal '''on the second '''Workspace Switcher''' and our '''Desktop''' on the first.

|-
|  04.09
|  In this way, you can work on '''multiple Desktops'''.

|-
|  04.12
|  Let us come back to the first '''Desktop'''.

|-
|  04.15
|  '''Trash''' is another important icon on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  04.19
|  '''Trash''' contains all the deleted files and folders.

|-
|  04.23 
|  In case we delete a '''file''' accidentally, we can restore it from '''Trash.'''

|-
|  04.28
|  To demonstrate this, I will delete '''DIW ''' file, which is on my '''Desktop.'''

|-
|  04.33 
|  Right-click on the file and click on the option '''Move to Trash.'''

|-
|  04.38
|  To restore it, just click on the '''Trash icon '''in the '''Launcher.'''

|-
|  04.43
|  The '''Trash '''folder opens.

|-
|  04.46
|  Select the '''file, '''right-click on it and click on '''Restore'''.

|-
|  04.50
|  Close the '''Trash ''' window and come back to the '''desktop'''.

|-
|  04.54 
|  We can see the file which we deleted earlier is now restored.

|-
|  04.59
|  To delete a file permanently from your system, first select it and then press '''Shift+Delete.'''

|-
|  05.07
|  A dialog box saying Are you sure want to permanently delete '''DIW''' will appear. Click on '''Delete'''.

|-
|  05.15
|  Click on the '''Trash '''icon once again.

|-
|  05.18
|  We can't find the file in the '''Trash '''folder, as it is permanently deleted from our system.

|-
|  05.24
|  Now, we'll see some applications available at the top right corner of the '''Desktop.'''

|-
|  05.31
|  First one is '''Internet connectivity. '''

|-
|  05.34
|  Connection is established if you are connected to any '''Lan''' or '''Wifi network.''' 

|-
|  05.39 
|  You can see these over here.

|-
|  05.42
|  You can select the '''network''' which you have access to.

|-
|  05.46
|  To '''Enable/ Disable''' the network, check/uncheck the '''Enable Networking''' option.

|-
|  05.52
|  We can also edit the networks using '''Edit Connections''' option.

|-
|  05.57
|  Next option is '''Sound.''' Click on it.

|-
|  06.00
|  You can see a slider here. This helps us to increase or decrease the audio level, as per our choice.

|-
|  06.07
|  We can further adjust the sound level of our system by clicking on '''Sound Settings'''.

|-
|  06.14
|  Explore the settings in this window on your own.

|-
|  06.17
|  Next icon is '''Time & Date'''.

|-
|  06.20
|  If we click on this icon, the calendar opens up. We can see the current date, month and year here.

|-
|  06.29
|  Arrow buttons allow us to move to other months and years, as per our choice.

|-
|  06.35
|  We can edit date and time by clicking on '''Time & Date Settings'''. Explore this option further on your own.

|-
|  06.44
|  Next, click on the '''wheel''' icon.

|-
|  06.47 
|  Here we can see some shortcut options along with '''Log Out''' and '''Shut Down''' options.

|-
|  06.53
|  We can also see all the '''User accounts''' available in our system.

|-
|  06.59 
|  We can switch to whichever user account we wish to, by clicking on that particular user.

|-
|  07.05
