|| '''Time'''
|| '''Narration'''

|-
|| 00:01
|| Hello and welcome to this spoken tutorial on '''Ubuntu Linux Desktop 16.04'''.

|-
|| 00:09
|| In this tutorial we will learn about '''Ubuntu Linux Desktop ''' on the '''gnome '''environment

|-
|| 00:17
|| And some common applications on the '''Ubuntu Desktop'''

|-
|| 00:22
|| To record this tutorial, I am using '''Ubuntu Linux 16.04 O S.'''

|-
|| 00:29
|| The '''Ubuntu desktop '''looks like this.

|-
|| 00:33
|| You'll see the '''launcher''' on the left hand side of the screen.

|-
|| 00:37
|| How can we hide the '''launcher'''?

|-
|| 00:40
|| To do so, go to the '''launcher '''on the left side.

Click on the '''System Settings icon.'''

|-
|| 00:47
|| In the '''System Settings''' window, click on '''Appearance'''.

|-
|| 00:51
|| In the '''Appearance''' window, click on the '''Behavior''' tab.

|-
|| 00:56
|| Here, switch '''Auto-hide the Launcher '''to '''ON '''position.

|-
|| 01:01
|| Now, the '''launcher''' will be hidden.

|-
|| 01:04
|| If the '''launcher '''is hidden, as shown here, then we can make it visible again

|-
|| 01:10
|| To do so, move the cursor to the extreme left of the screen.

|-
|| 01:15
|| The '''launcher''' will become visible.

|-
|| 01:18
|| Move the cursor away and the '''launcher''' will get hidden again.

|-
|| 01:23
|| Switch back to the '''Appearance '''window and turn '''Auto-hide the Launcher '''to '''OFF '''position.

|-
|| 01:30
|| Close this window by clicking on the tiny''' X icon''' at the top left of the window.

|-
|| 01:37
|| Notice, there are some icons on the '''launcher''', by default.

|-
|| 01:42
|| At the top of the '''launcher, '''you can see the '''Dash home icon'''.

|-
|| 01:47
|| '''Dash home''' is an interface which gives access to all '''applications''' in '''Ubuntu Linux,''' within a screen.

|-
|| 01:55
|| To open '''Dash home, '''click on it.

|-
|| 01:59
|| Prominently at the top, you'll see the '''search bar ''' field.

|-
|| 02:04
|| Now, how do we locate a particular application? Just type in the name of the application you are looking for and you will find it instantly

It's that simple!

|-
|| 02:16
|| Let’s try to locate the '''Calculator''' application.

|-
|| 02:20
|| So, in the '''search bar '''field, type '''C a l c'''.

|-
|| 02:26
|| All the '''applications''' that have '''c a l c''' in their name, will be listed.

|-
|| 02:32
|| Observe here - both '''LibreOffice Calc''' and '''Calculator''' are listed.

|-
|| 02:37
|| Click on the '''Calculator '''icon.

The '''Calculator application '''now opens on the screen.

|-
|| 02:45
|| '''Calculator ''' helps perform arithmetic, scientific or financial calculations.

|-
|| 02:52
|| Let us try some simple calculation.

|-
|| 02:55
|| Type '''5 asterix 8''' and click on the '''equal to '''sign.

|-
|| 03:02
|| Instead of clicking on the '''equal to''' sign, you can also press the '''Enter ''' key on the keyboard.

|-
|| 03:09
|| The answer is displayed on the '''Calculator'''.
|-
|| 03:13
|| Likewise, we can do all sort of calculations using the '''Calculator '''application.

|-
|| 03:20
|| Now exit this '''Calculator ''' by clicking on this tiny ''' X icon''' at the top left of the window.

|-
|| 03:28
|| Let’s get familiar with some other important '''applications''' in '''Ubuntu Linux OS'''.

|-
|| 03:34
|| For that, we will go back to '''Dash home.'''

|-
|| 03:38
|| In the '''Search bar''', let’s type '''gedit'''. '''gedit '''is the default '''Text Editor '''in the '''Ubuntu Linux OS'''.

|-
|| 03:48
|| The '''Text Editor '''icon appears below. Let’s click on it to open it.

|-
|| 03:55
|| What you see right now on the screen, is the '''gedit Text Editor ''' window.

|-
|| 04:00
|| Let me type some text here.

For example, type '''"Hello World"'''.

|-
|| 04:07
|| To save the file, press '''Ctrl '''and '''S''' keys simultaneously on the keyboard.

|-
|| 04:14
|| Alternately, we can click on '''File '''and then on '''Save'''.

|-
|| 04:20
|| Now, a dialog box named '''“Save as”''' opens up.

It asks for a '''filename ''' and the location where the file has to be saved.

|-
|| 04:31
|| So let’s type the name as '''"Hello.txt".'''

|-
|| 04:36
|| '''.txt '''is the default extension of a '''text file'''.

|-
|| 04:41
|| And for location, let’s select '''Desktop.'''

And click on the '''Save ''' button at the bottom.
|-
|| 04:49
|| Let's close this '''gedit''' window now by clicking on the tiny '''X icon''' at the top left of the window.
|-
|| 04:57
|| On the '''Desktop,''' we can see the '''file Hello.txt'''.

This means our '''text file''' was saved successfully.

|-
|| 05:05
|| Let me open this '''file''' by double-clicking on it.

|-
|| 05:09
|| See, our '''text file''' has opened with our written text.

|-
|| 05:14
|| The '''Internet''' has a lot of information on '''gedit Text Editor'''.

|-
|| 05:19
|| There are some spoken tutorials available on this topic also, on this website.

|-
|| 05:25
|| Let's close this '''text editor''' and look at another '''application''' i.e the '''Terminal'''.

|-
|| 05:32
|| So let's go to '''Dash home, ''' once again.

Now type the word '''terminal ''' in the '''search bar field'''.

|-
|| 05:41
|| Click on the '''Terminal''' icon, that appears below.

|-
|| 05:45
|| The '''terminal '''window opens on the screen.

Please note: The shortcut to open the '''Terminal '''is '''Ctrl+Alt+T '''keys.

|-
|| 05:55
|| The '''terminal''' is also called the '''command line.'''

This is because you can command the computer from here.

|-
|| 06:02
|| In fact it is more powerful than the '''GUI'''.

|-
|| 06:06
|| Let me switch back to the '''Terminal '''window.

|-
|| 06:09
|| Now let ’s type a simple '''command''' to get a feel of the '''terminal.'''

Type ''''ls' ''' and press '''Enter.'''

|-
|| 06:18
|| You can see a list of all the '''files''' and '''folders''' in the current '''directory'''.

|-
|| 06:23
|| Here, it is displaying '''files ''' and '''folders ''' from the '''Home folder'''.

|-
|| 06:28
|| We will see later in this tutorial what the '''Home folder''' is.

|-
|| 06:33
|| We will not spend any more time with the '''terminal''' now.

|-
|| 06:37
|| Close the '''terminal '''by clicking on the tiny '''X icon''' at the top left of the window.

|-
|| 06:43
|| '''Terminal ''' commands are explained well, in the '''Linux''' spoken tutorial series on this website.

|-
|| 06:49
|| Now, let's move on to another '''application''' i.e '''Firefox Web Browser.'''

|-
|| 06:55
|| Once again, open '''Dash home.''' Type '''Firefox ''' in the '''search bar'''.

|-
|| 07:01
|| Click on the '''Firefox Web Browser ''' icon.
|-
|| 07:05
|| '''Firefox Web Browser ''' is used to access the '''world wide web.'''

Now we can see that '''Firefox browser '''window is open.

|-
|| 07:15
|| Let ’s go to the '''spoken tutorial '''website.

For that, click on the '''address bar ''' or press '''F6 ''' on the keyboard.
|-
|| 07:24
|| Now let’s type '''"spoken-tutorial.org" '''and press '''Enter.'''

|-
|| 07:31
|| If you have '''Internet '''connectivity, then '''Firefox''' will connect to the given website.

|-
|| 07:37
|| The '''Spoken Tutorial Homepage ''' opens on the browser.

|-
|| 07:41
|| Let's close this as explained earlier, and move on to the next '''application'''.

|-
|| 07:47
|| So, let's go to '''Dash home ''' once again and type '''office ''' in the '''search bar.'''

|-
|| 07:53
|| You'll see various '''LibreOffice ''' components like

'''Calc, Impress, Writer '''and''' Draw'''

|-
|| 08:01
|| '''LibreOffice '''is the default '''office application''' in '''Ubuntu Linux OS'''.

|-
|| 08:07
|| Excellent tutorials for all these components are available on the '''Spoken Tutorial '''website.

|-
|| 08:13
|| Now let's explore the '''Video''' option.

|-
|| 08:17
|| Type '''video ''' in the '''search bar'''.
|-
|| 08:20
|| In the displayed list, we have one '''application''' named '''Videos.'''

|-
|| 08:25
|| '''Videos '''is used to play videos and songs. By default, it plays '''open format ''' video files only.

|-
|| 08:34
|| So let me play a sample file from my '''pen-drive'''.

|-
|| 08:38
|| Now I am inserting my '''pen-drive''' in a '''usb slot ''' on my machine.

The '''pen-drive folder''' has opened automatically.
|-
|| 08:47
|| If it does not open, we can access it from the '''launcher'''.

|-
||08:52
|| Locate the '''pen-drive icon''' on the '''launcher'''.

|-
|| 08:56
|| If we click on it, it shows the '''files''' and '''folders''' available on the '''pen-drive'''.

|-
|| 09:02
|| Now I will select the movie file '''big buck bunny.ogv''' to play.

|-
|| 09:08
|| Here is my file. I will double-click on it, to open.

|-
|| 09:14
|| It opens in '''Videos, '''by default.

|-
|| 09:17
|| Let's stop playing the movie.

|-
|| 09:20
|| Let us now press '''Ctrl, Windows''' and''' D''' keys to go to the '''Desktop'''.

|-
|| 09:26
|| Now let's see some other important things on this '''Desktop'''.
|-
|| 09:31
|| Notice the '''folder icon''' present in the '''launcher'''. Let's click on it.

|-
|| 09:37
|| The '''Home folder''' opens.

|-
|| 09:39
|| Every '''user''' has a unique '''Home folder '''in '''Ubuntu Linux'''.

|-
|| 09:44
|| We can say that the '''Home folder ''' is "our house", where we can store our '''files''' and '''folders'''.

Unless we permit, others cannot see them.

|-
|| 09:56
|| More information on '''file permissions''' is available in the '''Linux''' spoken tutorial series.

|-
|| 10:03
|| Let’s switch back.

In our '''Home folder''', we can see other '''folders''' such as, '''Desktop, Documents, Downloads,''' etc.
|-
|| 10:14
|| In '''Linux''', everything is a '''file'''.

Let ’s open the '''Desktop folder ''' by double -clicking on it.

|-
|| 10:21
|| Here, we can see that the same '''"hello.txt" ''' file that we saved from the '''text editor'''.

|-
|| 10:28
|| So this '''folder ''' and the '''Desktop ''' are the same.

|-
|| 10:32
|| Let me close this '''folder '''now.

That’s all for this tutorial. Let us summarise.
|-
|| 10:39
|| In this tutorial we learnt about, the '''Ubuntu Desktop''', the '''launcher''' and some of the '''icons''' available on it

|-
|| 10:49
|| Few common '''applications''' like '''Calculator, Text Editor, Terminal, Firefox Web Browser, Videos '''and '''LibreOffice Suite''' components and the '''Home folder'''
