Tutorial: Terminal Commands in Ubuntu Linux

~Read description~

Here are all of the commands I entered in the Terminal. If I missed any please let me know.

ls-lists all files in directory

cd (Directory Name)- changes to the directory entered.

cd .. or cd / - brings you back to previous directory, brings you to the very root of the system

mv Filename.??? directory/new file name- will move file to specified directory/renames file to the newly entered filename

cp filename.??? to directory- will copy file to specified directory

rm filename- will remove specified file
rm -r directory name- will remove specified directory and all its contents

mkdir directory name- will create a new directory or folder in the current directory you are in.

nano- opens a text editor program if followed by a text document name it will open to edit that document.

also explained is the tab complete and arrow keys for history.

please let me know if you would like a more detailed version of a specific command and i will try to make a video on it.

Thanks For Watching!!

I have a small problem, when I watched the video I followed along myself in the Terminal, and then I explored some other directories as well. However, now when I try to get back to the Desktop directory by typing cd Desktop, just as I diid the first time, it says: No such file or directory. What do I do, and why does this occur?

@gulernhagen Sorry for the late reply. If you havnt figured it out by now I still hope this helps. Of what I remember you cant just cd Desktop but instead you have to cd .. back as far as you can and then cd your way back to the Desktop. Ex)

cd ... (x5)

cd Users, cd User(you), cd Desktop

That was a basic example but I hope it helps.

@JesDav95 honestly I do not remeber I believe I was using record my desektop and I also have no real idea how i got the quality to work so well it was more of an accident.

@america0014 Wow ok thanks again for your reply it helps a lot. I will be sure to check it out. With the working with the video part of Linux I meant recording and rendering. Truthfully with the Ubuntu vids I just got lucky with how the sound and video work so well, but i haven't been able to do the same on Linux Mint.

Thanks again for your help.
