I've been using ubuntu for like 3 years as my main os. I've used terminal many many times but never have I deeply understand it. I run commands, I'm familiar with the basic ones, but i want to dig deeper. Is there any video introduction(i like to lay back and watch tutorials instead of reading books) to novice-intermediate to advanced command line?   Thank you.

GNOME Terminal shows up in several places:   launchers which start terminal commands the Launch Terminal keyboard shortcut the menu items added by nautilus-open-terminal   Does each of these explicitly specify GNOME Terminal, or is there some centralized setting they reference?  I have checked for:   A setting in System Settings ▸ System Info ▸ Default Applications An analog of  or  An environment variable containing gnome-terminal. This one actually looks hopeful:  $ env | grep gnome-terminal COLORTERM=gnome-terminal   but I'm not sure where to go with it.   If such a setting exists, my goal is to change it to use a different terminal emulator by default.

How can I create a message box from the command line, either GUI message boxes or message boxes shown inside the terminal? It would also be interesting to be able to get a simple input back from the user, for example, an input given with radio buttons (yes/no, OK, etc).

Mainly I am looking for a way to pin an application to the Unity launch bar, and run it as root.  Currently, even if I start the application with sudo, and pin it after it starts, it will start as current user next time.  Sad, but there is no context menu option "run as ...".  Update: I switched to gnome3 and now I'm happy, I'm missing only the search.

I wonder, isn't still there  an easy way to create a desktop shortcut in Ubuntu 14.04 (or Unity)? There is no context menu on desktop doing this.   So I tried the following: I looked for an app I want to create a shortcut for in the dash, then I tried to drag it to the desktop. And guess what? I got the error:

I recently switched from Ubuntu, and I was feeling very comfortable with using Ctrl + Alt + T to launch terminal. Can I assign Shift + Cmd + T to do the same thing in Yosemite? Specifically, I want a new terminal window to be opened.

When I was running Debian, I was able to start a remote session over x11 by just typing gnome-session  However, with Ubuntu 12.04, this only seems to result in my desktop and background being forwarded over x11 -- the top bar (where the clock is) and dock are both missing. I tried starting all of unity by executing unity, but that just resulted in a segfault.  How can I start a Unity 2D session over x11?  Edit: I prefer x11 as I need to tunnel the connection over 2 other servers. I would need to do a good amount of port forwarding within SSH to get any other connections back. Of course, if someone has any other suggestions, I'm willing to listen.

I just installed the lastest version of . I works fine but in order to use it, I have to enter the following in the terminal: cd ugene-1.11.5/ then execute ./ugene -ui to launch UGENE GUI.   This takes too long. I would like to build a .desktop file for UGENE to be used in Ubuntu 12.04 so that I can simply open it from the unity launcher.  Not sure if this is helpful but the website says: By default ugene script launches the command-line version of UGENE.  Here's what I have (not sure if it's right):  [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=my Unipro UGENE GenericName=Integrated Bioinformatics Suite Comment=Unipro UGENE is a cross-platform visual environment for DNA and protein sequence analysis. MimeType=text/english;text/plain;text/x-makefile;text/x-c++hdr;text/x-c++src;text/x-chdr;text/x-csrc;text/x-java;text/x-moc;text/x-pascal;text/x-tcl;text/x-tex;application/x-shellscript;text/x-c;text/x-c++; Exec=/home/samuel/ugene-1.11.5 ./ugene -ui -c %F Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ugene.svg Type=Application Terminal=true Categories=Utility;Development; StartupWMClass=UGENE   I added the launcher named my Unipro UGENE to my unity bar and tried opening it but it doesn't appear. I must be missing something. I don't know what the StartWMCClass field is suppose to be nor do I know whether I entered the correct MimeType.

I just installed 11.10 and found that once I minimize the terminal window, I can't bring it back. All other Windows are getting minimized to the Unity launcher and I can relaunch them from there. If I go to the launcher and click on terminal a new terminal session is created and the old one is lost completely. This is the first time I am facing such a problem and all my previous installations of 11. 10 didn't throw up any such behaviors. Any suggestions?

I would like to know, if there is possible to use keyboard shortcut to focus on first idle (non working) terminal window in unity (13.10)? Something like Ctr+Alt+T, but before opening the new instance of terminal, searching for any idle instance?

Say I need to write a script that will launch a terminal and execute a command and I need that to work on various systems. How can I do that in a safe and portable manner?  Is xterm always installed? I assume that any *nix with a GUI must have some terminal emulator. How can I get to it? Debian systems  x-terminal-emulator but that, apparently,  in Red Hat, let alone non-Linux *nixes.

What command(s) can I use in the terminal that's equivalent to the PrtSc (Print Screen) button?  I am running Ubuntu GNOME.

I have three scripts I need to run when I start up my Ubuntu machine, they start services I use in my development environment.  To do that, I manually open three terminals and type in the commands.  Is there any way to create a script that will open three terminals and execute one command in each of these? (Each command should be in a separate terminal window so I can see their output).
