---|---|
00:01 | Welcome to this spoken tutorial on BOSS Desktop. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will get familiar with the BOSS Desktop environment. |
00:12 | Here, I am using BOSS Linux 3.4.2 with wide Indian language support & packages. |
00:21 | Let me minimize the slides. |
00:24 | What you are seeing here, is the BOSS Desktop. |
00:28 | You can see the main menu on the top left hand side corner. |
00:33 | To open this menu, press Alt+F1 keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
00:42 | Alternately, click on Applications menu. |
00:46 | The Applications menu contains all the installed applications in a categorized manner. |
00:54 | In this Applications menu, let us get familiar with some important applications. |
01:01 | So let's go to Applications, Accessories, Calculator. |
01:08 | Calculator helps perform arithmetic, scientific or financial calculations. |
01:16 | Let's open the calculator by clicking on it. |
01:20 | Let us try some simple calculations. |
01:23 | Type 5*(into)8 and press =(equals to) sign. |
01:29 | Instead of pressing =(equals to) sign, you can also press the Enter key. |
01:35 | Now, exit this calculator by pressing the close button. |
01:40 | Now let's look at another application. |
01:43 | For that, go back to Applications, then go to Accessories. |
01:49 | In Accessories, let's open gedit Text Editor by clicking on it. |
01:56 | So, what you see right now on screen is the gedit Text Editor. |
02:02 | Let me type some text here and save it. |
02:06 | Type: Hello World. |
02:11 | To save the file, I can press Crtl+S keys or go to File and then click on Save. |
02:20 | So, let me go to File and then click on Save. |
02:26 | The Save As dialog box opens up. |
02:29 | It prompts for filename and location in which the file has to be saved. |
02:36 | So, let me type the name as hello.txt and for location, I will select the Desktop. |
02:47 | Click on Save button. |
02:49 | Let's close this gedit window now and check whether our file is saved on the Desktop or not. |
02:58 | Now come to the Desktop and you can see the file hello.txt here. |
03:05 | So, our text file has got saved successfully. |
03:10 | Let me open this file by double-clicking on it. |
03:14 | Here is our text Hello World. |
03:18 | We can type in multiple local languages too, in the gedit text editor. |
03:24 | Let us see how to do so. |
03:27 | In gedit Text Editor, press CTRL + SPACE BAR. |
03:33 | You can see a small box at the bottom right hand side. |
03:39 | Click on it. |
03:41 | Select Hindi. |
03:43 | Inscript. |
03:45 | I will type hello world. |
03:49 | You can see the text has changed to Hindi Inscript. |
03:53 | Now I will select Hindi, then I will select Phonetic. |
03:59 | I will type welcome using phonetics. |
04:03 | And you can see the word welcome typed in Hindi. |
04:08 | Now, click on Save to save the changes. |
04:11 | Let's close this text editor and let's see another important application from Accessories i.e Terminal. |
04:20 | So, let's move back to Applications , Accessories and then Terminal. |
04:27 | Terminal is called command line because you can command the computer from here.
In fact, it is more powerful than the GUI. |
04:40 | Now let's type a simple command to get a feel of Terminal. |
04:45 | So, let's type ls and press Enter. |
04:50 | You can see it lists all the files and folders in the current working directory. |
04:57 | Here it is displaying files and folders from the Home folder. |
05:02 | We will see later in this tutorial what the Home folder is. |
05:07 | Terminal commands are explained well in the subsequent Linux spoken tutorials in this series. |
05:15 | Let us close the Terminal now. |
05:18 | Now let's move on to another application i.e Iceweasel Web Browser. |
05:25 | This is the default web browser on the BOSS Operating System. |
05:30 | Click on Applications ; Internet ; Iceweasel Web Browser. |
05:36 | Iceweasel is the re-branded version of; Firefox. |
05:41 | Using this browser, you can access your emails or search for some information on the net. |
05:49 | Let's go to the google site. |
05:51 | The short-cut key to go to the address bar is F6. |
05:56 | Or you can click here on the address bar. |
06:00 | I will type www.google.co.in |
06:07 | As I type, Iceweasel may suggest a few possibilities. |
06:11 | You may choose one of these... |
06:14 | ... or continue to type the complete address and press Enter. |
06:19 | We are now in the google search page. Let us type spoken tutorial in the search bar. |
06:27 | The spoken tutorial website is listed as the first option. Let's click on it. |
06:34 | This will open the spoken tutorial home page. |
06:38 | So let's close this and move on. |
06:42 | Now, let's click on Applications and then on Office. |
06:48 | In this Office menu, we have LibreOffice options like Writer, Calc and Impress. |
06:57 | These are the word processor, spreadsheet and presentation components of LibreOffice Suite. |
07:04 | The Spoken Tutorial website has spoken tutorials on these topics. We suggest that you explore them. |
07:12 | Next, under Applications, let's explore Sound &Video menu. |
07:19 | This option lists the various player options available in BOSS OS. |
07:27 | You can use any of these options to play your video or audio files. |
07:33 | Now, Let's see some other important things, Lets go to Places menu this time. |
07:41 | The first option here is the Home folder. |
07:45 | Let's open it. |
07:47 | Every user has a unique Home folder in BOSS OS. |
07:52 | We can say that the Home folder is our house where we can store our files and folders. |
08:00 | Unless we permit, others cannot see them. |
08:04 | More information on file permissions is available in the Linux spoken tutorials available on the spoken tutorial website. |
08:14 | In our Home folder, we can see other folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music,etc. |
08:25 | In Linux, everything is a file. |
08:29 | Let's open the Desktop folder by double-clicking on it. |
08:35 | Hey, we can see that the same hello.txt file what we saved from gedit text editor is here. |
08:44 | So this folder and the Desktop are the same. |
08:49 | Let me close this folder now. |
08:52 | Let's learn to change the Desktop theme now. |
08:55 | Go to the right hand side corner and click on the username displayed there. |
09:02 | In my case, the username is spoken. So, I will click on spoken. |
09:09 | Now, click on System Settings option. |
09:13 | The System Settings dialog box opens up. |
09:16 | Click on Background icon. |
09:19 | Choose any background from the list displayed. |
09:23 | It will appear as your new background. |
09:27 | Close this dialog box. |
09:29 | Now, we will come to the System Tools option available under Applications menu. |
09:36 | This menu has many important options which help you to manage your desktop and the various applications. |
09:44 | Click on System tools, Administration and Synaptic Package Manager. |
09:51 | It will immediately prompt you for the admin password for authentication. |
09:57 | Type in your 'admin' password and click on Authenticate button. |
10:02 | Details on how to use Synaptic Package Manager is available in a separate tutorial in this series. |
10:10 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
