Starting slide Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Ubuntu Linux Desktop.

System Requirements To record this tutorial, I am using Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04
Screenshot of old version Desktop In some of the older versions of Ubuntu Linux, the desktop looks like this.
Screenshot of the old version >> highlight the three tabs You can see Applications, Places and System tabs on the top left corner of the screen.
Go to desktop In the newer versions of Ubuntu Linux, the desktop  looks likes this.
Point to the launcher bar You'll see the launcher on the left hand side of the screen.

Move the mouse to the launcher You can see the Dash home icon at the top of the launcher.
Click on Dash home To open Dash home, click on it.
Point to the search bar, Applications, Files & Folders Right at the top, you'll see the search bar field.
Now, how do we locate a particular application? Its very simple!
Let’s try to locate the Calculator application.
In the search bar >> type Calc So, in the search bar field, type C a l c.
Point to LibreOffice Calc and Calculator See here, both LibreOffice Calc and Calculator are listed.
Click on Calculator >> come to the Calculator window Click on Calculator icon.

The Calculator application now opens on the screen.

In old version Applications -> Accessories -> Calculator In old versions of Ubuntu Linux, we have to click on Applications -> Accessories -> Calculator.
Mouse-over calculator Calculator helps perform arithmetic, scientific or financial calculations.
Let us try some simple calculation.
Type 5*8 >> press = Type 5 asterix 8 and press the equal to sign.
Instead of pressing equal to sign, you can also press the Enter key on the keyboard.
Point to the answer. The answer is displayed on the Calculator.
Likewise, we can do all sorts of calculations using the Calculator application.
Click on close button Now exit this Calculator by clicking the close button.

<<PAUSE>>

Let’s get familiar with a few other important applications on Ubuntu Linux OS.
Mouse on the desktop area For that, we will go back to Dash home.
Press Windows key on the keyboard Another way to open Dash Home is to press the Windows key on the keyboard.
In the Search Bar >> type gedit >> click on Text Editor icon. In the Search bar, type gedit.

The Text Editor icon appears.  Click on it.

Old version Application ->  Accessories >> gedit In the old versions of Ubuntu Linux, we have to click on Application >> Accessories >> gedit.
Mouse on gedit Text Editor What you see right now on the screen, is the gedit Text Editor window.
Type “Hello World” Let me type some text here.

Type "Hello World".

To save the file, press Ctrl and S keys simultaneously on the keyboard.
Click on File->save Alternately, go to File and then click on Save.
“Save as” dialog comes up Now, a dialog box named “Save as” opens up.

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

Type “hello.txt” as filename. So let’s type the name as "hello.txt".
Select Desktop as location >> click on Save button. And for location let’s select Desktop and click on the Save button.
Click on 'X' button gedit text editor. Let's close this gedit window now and check whether our file is saved on the Desktop or not.
Move to desktop area and select the hello.txt file. Now on the Desktop, you can see the file hello.txt.

This means our text file was saved successfully.

Double click on hello.txt file Let me open this file by double-clicking on it.

See, our text file has opened with our written text.

SLIDE The Internet has a lot of information on gedit Text Editor.

There will be spoken tutorials on this topic at the below link.

Mouse on Terminal window The terminal window opens on the screen.

Please Note that the shortcut key to open the Terminal is Ctrl+Alt+T.

SLIDE Terminal is called the command line.

This is because you can command the computer from here.

In fact it is more powerful than the GUI.

Place your cursor on terminal Let me switch back to the Terminal window.
Type ls >> press Enter Now let’s type a simple command to get a feel of the terminal.

Type 'ls' and press Enter.

Move the cursor over the result of the command

Highlight Home

Double click on movie file Here is my file; now I will double-click to open it.
Movie file opens It opens in Videos, by default.
