Title of script:Overview of BOSS Desktop

Author: Nancy Varkey

Keywords: BOSS OS,Overview, Desktop, Synaptic Package Manager


Time Narration
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.
10:14 Let us summarize.
10:15 In this tutorial we learnt about:
10:18 the BOSS Desktop
10:19 the main menu
