Ubuntu Linux Tutorial Chapt12.Introduction to the Terminal 1

[MrAnalogCone]

This all seems needlessly complicated. Yeah... I'm a Mac, but thanks for already knowing that

[Spyez]

Awesome tutorial. Easy to follow.

[EasyEnergy]

Hey guys. Is linuks always with the desktop? Is there any way to run linuks without desktop?

[daeheadshot]

@EasyEnergy before you log in(or logout if you are already logged in), click the user you want to use, at the bottom there should be a list of window managers(you probably only have GNOME and Xterm in there) click xterm, and login, now you are running in "terminal mode" (to start the graphical ...stuff just write startx and press enter.)

[EasyEnergy]

@daeheadshot Thanks

[glowcode]

@diees try the 11.04 release, wireless card support was improved if you still want to use it.

Linux Mint Isadora The Best!

[RavenSoulWindsong]

Thank you for the explicit content and the vizibility of the video!

[milosrastovac]

is ubuntu terminal the same as opensuse?

[lowbudgetkiller]

THnx.. good tut.. :)

[xSoundUpx]

yes or no question -

could i have a seperate user that has linux and another user on the same computer with windows

[nick5269]

@xSoundUpx yes

[WinCamXP]

@xSoundUpx Go to ubuntu.com and download Wubi, and run it in Windows. this asks you if you want Windows or Ubuntu when you turn on your computer. It also installs Ubuntu. Windows will always stay there.

[ubuntuman95]

i got mine so the terminal pops up when i hit the Super key both left and right

[J0RDSKI]

Ubuntu 10.04 is awesome until you get bored and realize you wish linux had good games.

[nh7tr]

@J0RDSKI who the fuck has time for bullshit games!! go buy a fuckin XBOX

[J0RDSKI]

@nh7tr I have an xbox and the games come no way near pc games because you have much better hardware to run them in higher graphics and have more control over the games themselves.

[Wilyes]

@J0RDSKI Steam might come soon to ubuntu. Then you will have a lot of different good games to play.

[sbkhaan1]

@Wilyes Steam is already here for ADVANCED ubuntu users, because it requires some config.

[Einstine1984]

although you didn't show almost anything, I have learned much.

thanks

[XD0777]

Linux looks so bad

[carlosmavros]

yakuake 4 ever!!! =)

[lagasolina25]

is there a way to get a terminal on windows vista? someone answer plz

[SimonRedmile]

Kind of, you have Command Prompt, you need to go to run and type cmd. Some commands are the same or similar but many are not so you'll need to read up on it.

[Sunshineista]

ya go to run and type in cmd

[jaberq879]

no man this is an old tool

[avsiii]

Yes - Click on the "Start" button, click on "run", at the "run" line enter cmd and press "Enter"....

[sek8]

CMD. Terminal doesnt exist in vista.

[lordbalron]

There is also Cygwin.

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

LOL!!!!! @ -3 thumbs down LMFAOOOOOOOO

hahahaha... i duno why but that was funy to me sorry if it was assholish of me.. i put a thumb up. :/

i have vista and linux mint 8 and theres no terminal there in vista sir/ma'am LOL.. just command prompt but u cant input those commands for ubuntu into vista theyre different OS. I'm here trying to learn to use Linux Mint cuz i just installed it not long ago. its a cool OS. i like it but i gota learn it as well. :P

[Whopzer]

Has every dist got the same commands on the terminal?

[firemetal2007]

It depends, but for the most part, alot of the commands in Linux are fairly universal across the board. However, Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros have root permissions disabled by default so therefore one needs to type "sudo" commands which gives admin abilities without having to actually login as root. Not all distros do this however.

[AdioChings]

aaaaaha...

[ryancuomo]

is the voice in this tutorial synthesised? It sounds either like a really good loquendo voice or a really droid-like human

[hellblazer9261]

whats the benefit of using linux??

....i use mac and windows but never had to need for a linux

[triplesquarednine]

the benifit of using linux is that it open source...

you can modify the system in ways not easily done or in some cases even possilbe in win or mac....and 90% of software and the OS itself are FREE

[luckydev89]

it depends on the individual and purpose.

If you start a company and you don want to pay license fee to your competitor, then you can use open source technologies or in this case linux system.

Some people, including me, like working in a complete open source system where we as users are free to do anything in our system.

Again, dude, It depends on the individual's tastes

[MovieMakingFan99]

cool i dont know why but when i see a terminal like interface in a device i get freaked out just the thought of one little wrong letter messing up the entire system is scary!!!!!

[WishICouldBeTechDawg]

one wrong letter can't mess up the entire system unless you are doing a delicate system process as a superuser.. it's safe unless you're root and you don't know what you're doing

[MovieMakingFan99]

i dont just mean of linux i mean of anything that uses a terminal like interface

but nice to know that¡¡

[crazycracker37]

i have been taking a linux class for a good couple of weeks now and this is the first real thing that i have learned about linux. I'm definately subscribing.

[latticelinux]

You do realize that mac is unix right so in other words its pretty much the same thing as this

[NoScopeN00b]

@latticelinux explain im n00b

[ledzepking]

BORRRRRIIINGGGGGGGG MACS RULE

[Ezcut]

lol , and whats Mac Os Under the hood? it not unix base? f.. noob

Linux Pwnd

[planefreak3]

dude ledzepking, im getting a 17 inch macbook pro and i will partition it with ubuntu 8.10, i have never tried linux. dont hate on stuff you havent tried

[triplesquarednine]

[therealmetroidmaniac]

[harveyglynn]

linux is crap windows rock

[xXxps3sucksxXx]

[harveyglynn]

[josephgrovers]

linux is crap windows rock

[gogogadgetrobert]

just because apple was the first personal pc doesn't mean mac copy anything, it means it may have improved, or completely recreated the personal comp. in their own way, if they'd copied anything there'd been a lawsuit beyond belief

[korwinblue]

Dude, where do you get your info? Ever heard of the Commoder 64? I still have mine.

[skollywhop]

how did mac copy linux aside from spaces, apple invented the first personal computer and thus everything after is just a copy of that

[skollywhop]

mac is unix not linux, there is a difference, besides mac also uses Mach 4 which isnt even unix

[triplesquarednine]

im a little more "versed", so i will say this. i can take pretty much any unix peice of software and compile it to run in linux. all unix/linux distro's pretty much use the same stuff, with slight variations.... BSD is no different. ..as for Mach 4. MacOSX uses a "psuedo" mach 4 kernel. not a "true" mach 4 kernel.... therefore MacOSX is monolythic OS, just like unix/linux. where as real Mach4 is actually a microkernel (NewStep - it's origins)

today the majority of super-computers run linux..

[triplesquarednine]

can you say mac snob? mac didn't come up with spaces.

i first saw spaces years and years ago, on a X windows(linux machine). apple does do some innovative things, and i like apple as i own several of their products. they make great stable computers-though this is changing, (i worked for an apple technician.

they are becoming buggier than ever, and are expensive and become out of date quickly, forcing you to buy again.

tehy are corporate whores just like microsoft. i say OPEN SOURCE ALL THE WAY

[AthanB123]

windows and mac just copied linux. now the copycats are so famous and linux isnt. the creator of linux must of been smart

[govea2]

thanks a lot.. ernesto from venezuela.

[angaricarlos]

very useful... thanks for taking the time. What program did you use to record the screen?

[barnybest1]

LINUX SUCKS AND YOU KNOW IT!

[chadt4]

Then why are you watching a linux video?

[geniousmac]

do you like macs?

[japichbincool]

macs are cool.

But linux looks nice too

[gtamozilakilla]

whay on linux can play a game for windows xp

[frostek]

@gtamozilakilla - "WINE" will allow access to quite a few Windows games and applications.

[Freestuffhelper01]

[pavlick2000]

[datfreshdude247]
