Module 2: Using a Computer and Managing Files using Ubuntu and the Gnome Desktop Section 1: Computer Environment _________________________________ 2.1 Using a Computer and Managing Files: Computer Environment _____________________________________________________________________________ 2.1.1 First Steps with the Computer 2.1.1.1 Start the computer. • Press the On/Off switch on front of the computer. This will initiate the boot process. During this process the start-up routine that is stored in the ROM of the computer will take control of the computer. One of the things this routine does is to read certain areas of the hard drive to search for the operating system. The start-up routine will then load the operating system into the RAM of the computer and pass over control to it. Depending on how the computer has been configured, one of three things will happen: 1. The operating system will automatically load the GUI (Graphical user interface) and start this for a default user. The system will be available for immediate use. 2. The operating system will automatically load the GUI, but you will be prompted to enter a username and password. These will be given to you by who ever installed the system. 3. Only the text based operating system will load. In this case you will need to logon and then start the GUI. In this case you will see a black screen on which the prompt Logon: appears. Suppose you have been given the username GenUser and password V2wTkN7. Remember that passwords are case sensitive. If you are given a password, you must enter it exactly as given. Logon to the GUI • When the logon window appears, type in your username and password exactly as given. When you type the password, for example V2wTkN7, a series of stars ****** will appear in the password window. This is so that no-one can read your password by looking over your shoulder. • Click the OK button. Unless you have a valid username and password, you will not be able to log on to the system.

  • Password-Based Encryption in ZIP Files
    Password-based encryption in ZIP files Dmitri Gabbasov December 15, 2015 Abstract In this report we give an overview of the encryption schemes used in the ZIP file format. We first give an overview of the file format itself and then describe three encryption schemes that can be used in ZIP files. Ultimately we will try to decide which scheme should be preferred. 1 Introduction The ZIP file format was created in 1989 by PKWARE Inc. [2] and was first implemented in the company’s PKZIP utility. The format has been documented in a specification document referred to as APPNOTE [1]. The earliest available version of APPNOTE (version 1.0) was written in 1990 [3]. The current version is 6.3.4, published in 2014. The ZIP file format is widely known and is one of the most popular formats used to compress files. It is in fact a container format that supports a variety of compression algorithms, with deflate being the most common one. 2 ZIP file format ZIP files are archives that store multiple files. Each file inside the archive is compressed individ- ually, making it possible to extract them or add new ones without compressing or decompressing the entire archive. This contrasts with the format of compressed TAR archives, for which such random access is not possible. Following is the structure of a ZIP archive containing n files. 1 Local file header 1 File data 1 Local file header 2 File data 2 . Local file header n File data n Central directory file header 1 Central directory file header 2 .

  • Getting Started with LINUX a Personal Experience
    Getting Started with LINUX a personal experience IWPCUG March 7th 2018 Mike Hoar Have been on the fringes of Linux for some years (I pronounce it the Scandinavian way Lee-nux a combination of Linnus Thorvald and UNIX). This presentation provides an introduction to Linux in the form of a record of my investigations and experience of installing, configuring and initial use of a Linux setup. 1 Part 1: The Background • What is Linux? • What do I want to use it for? • What hardware do I have? 2 What is LINUX? An Operating System Just like Windows, iOS and UNIX Computers need an OS, software and peripheral hardware to perform. The OS enables the software to run and communicate with the printers, monitors and other media devices. Just like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X, Linux is an operating system. An operating system is software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop or laptop. To put it simply – the operating system manages the communication between your software and your hardware. Without the operating system (often referred to as the “OS”), the software wont function. Operating systems have been around since general purpose computers were first developed. They have just got more sophisticated and complex. The first home computers such as the Commadore64 and Sinclair ZX machines had the OS hard wired into the machine. When the IBM PC was developed it came with the first OS which was installed every time you started up the machine, this was Microsofts DOS. Other versions were soon developed which were compatible with software written to run on MS-DOS .

You can install Ubuntu Mate on your old laptop and keep at the same time Windows XP too, if you like XP. Or you can buy a tiny new laptop about 200-300 €/$ and change Windows 10 to Ubuntu. It works! I have made both about three years ago, and I haven't used Windows since then. My own laptop is cheap HP Stream 4 MB/32 GB. When I was studying Ubuntu, I noticed that simple beginner's guide books were not available. So, I did a guide book. I also created a website and named it www.ubuntutor.com. It currently includes Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 tutorials. And this guide is third one.

  • Q Light Controller+ on the Raspberry Pi User Guide
    Q Light Controller+ on the Raspberry Pi User guide Last updated: November 7th, 2015 The Raspberry Pi name and logo are property of the Raspberry Pi Foundation (http://www.raspberrypi.org/) 1. Introduction Welcome to the QLC+ on the Raspberry Pi user guide ! A Raspberry Pi runs a Linux operating system, so please don't expect to find all the tools and windows of a desktop system like Windows or OSX. Also, please keep in mind that a Raspberry Pi cannot replace a PC, especially when it comes to designing a light show. This document is not meant to teach you how to use Linux. There's plenty of information about that on the internet, as well as specific information on how to setup and tweak a Raspberry Pi Linux system. So please, before asking non QLC+ related questions, submit them to Google and not in the QLC+ forum. 2. Features QLC+ on Raspberry Pi is an optimized version that tries to get the best out of a limited device while keeping the whole set of functionalities offered on the desktop version. Let's go directly into the techy details to let you understand what kind of gear is powering QLC+: • A Linux system based on Debian Wheezy, with a 4.1.6 kernel and optimized for the ARM (hard float) platform • Supports Raspberry Pi 1 model B/B+ and Raspberry Pi 2 model B • Around 360MB of memory available on RPi1 Model B/B+ when QLC+ is running. 850MB free on RPi2 Model B. • Extremely tiny software image that fits into a SD card with a size of just 1GB and still leaves around 360MB of free space • Powered by Qt 5.5.1 directly running on OpenGL for fast 2D rendering of the User Interface.
