|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| System Requirements
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| For this tutorial I am using '''Ubuntu Linux OS''' 14.10

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| About Launcher
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Let's begin with the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Slide Number

'''Launcher'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| '''Launcher''' is the default left-side '''panel''' in the '''Ubuntu''' '''Linux desktop, '''which has some default applications.

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

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

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Screen shot of Launcher with icons
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| By default, the '''Launcher '''has some applications.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"|
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Let us learn to '''customize''' the '''Launcher''' based on our requirements.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Slide Number
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| For my regular work, I need applications like '''Terminal, LibreOffice Writer, Gedit''' and so on'''.'''

Let's add these applications on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Removing Icons from the Launcher
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Before doing that, I will remove some of the applications which I don't want.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Point to Amazon application

Amazon >> Right-click >> Unlock from Launcher
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Say I wish to remove the '''Vlc '''application from the '''Launcher.'''

Click on the '''Vlc '''application icon, then right click and select '''Unlock from Launcher.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Point to the Launcher
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| You can see that the '''Vlc '''application icon has been removed from the '''Launcher'''.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Screen shot of Removed Unwanted applications from Launcher
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| In the same way, we can remove all the shortcuts which we do not use frequently.

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

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"|
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Now, I will add the '''Terminal''' shortcut to the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on '''Dash home'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on D'''ash home.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Type '''Terminal''' in search bar >> click on it.
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| In the '''search bar,''' type “'''terminal'''”.

Click on the '''Terminal''' icon to open it.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Pointing to the '''terminal''' in the '''Launcher'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| You can see the '''terminal''' icon on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Right click on '''terminal''' icon >> Lock to '''Launcher'''.
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| To fix the '''terminal '''icon on the '''Launcher, '''first right-click on it.

Then click on '''Lock to Launcher.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"|
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Another way to fix application shortcuts on the '''Launcher '''is by dragging and dropping.

I will demonstrate this now.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Open '''Dash Home''' >> In the '''search bar  '''type '''LibreOffice'''.
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Open '''Dash Home''' and in the '''search bar, '''type '''LibreOffice'''.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Drag & Drop '''LibreOffice '''icon on the '''Launcher'''.

Help text should be visible now.
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Drag the '''LibreOffice '''icon onto the '''Launcher.'''

As we do so, the help text may appear saying “'''Drop to Add application”.'''

Don’t worry if no help text appears.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Drop '''LibreOffice '''icon on the '''Launcher'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Now, drop the '''LibreOffice '''icon on the '''Launcher.'''

You can see the shortcut is now added to the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"|
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| This is how we can add shortcuts on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| About Multiple Desktop/Workspace switcher (Slide)
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| The next important feature in '''Ubuntu Linux OS''' is '''multiple workspace/desktop.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| About Multiple Desktop/Workspace switcher (Slide)
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Sometimes we may be working on multiple applications.

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

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

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Back to the '''desktop.'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Let’s come back to the '''desktop'''.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on the '''Launcher '''>> locate '''Workspace Switcher'''.
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on the '''Launcher,'''locate '''Workspace Switcher''' icon and click on it.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Point to the 4 quadrants.
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| It shows 4 quadrants with 4 '''desktops'''.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Point to the top-left quadrant.
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| By default, the top-left '''desktop''' is selected. That is the '''desktop '''in which we are currently working.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on '''Workspace Switcher''' >> select 2nd '''Desktop'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Now, let’s select the second '''desktop''' by double-clicking on it.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Open the '''Terminal'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| I will open the '''terminal''' here by clicking on the icon in the '''Launcher'''.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on '''Workspace Switcher'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Now, click on the '''Workspace Switcher '''again'''.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Point to 1st & 2nd '''Desktop'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| You can see the '''terminal '''on the second '''Workspace '''and our presentation on the first.

In this way, you can work on '''multiple''' '''desktops'''.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Double-click on the first '''desktop'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Let’s come back to the first '''desktop'''.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Point to '''Trash '''icon on '''Launcher'''.
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| '''Trash '''is another important icon on the '''Launcher.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Slide Number

About Trash
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| '''Trash''' contains all the deleted files and folders.

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

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Back to '''desktop''' >> Right click on file>> select '''Move to Trash '''option
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| To demonstrate this, I will delete '''DIW '''which is on my '''desktop.'''

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

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on '''Trash''' icon

| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| To restore it, just click on the '''Trash icon '''in the '''Launcher.'''

The '''Trash '''folder opens.

Screenshot of the restored File
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Close the '''Trash '''folder window and come back to the '''desktop'''.

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

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Select the file >> Press '''Shift+Delete.'''
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| To delete a file permanently from your system, first select it and then press '''Shift+Delete '''keys'''.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"|
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| A Dialog box saying Are you sure want to permanently delete '''DIW''' will appear.

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on '''Trash '''icon
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on the '''Trash '''icon once again.

| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Now, we'll see some icons available at the top right corner of the '''desktop.'''

|-
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Internet Connectivity icon
| style="border:0.05pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| First one is '''internet connectivity. '''
