Note: This article only provides a new user guide based on your ubuntu user experience. Please skip this article on your own...
First of all, congratulations, you have entered the linux camp. You may have no idea about free software, linux, ubuntu, and so on. Everything just comes from seeing a friend's Cool 3D desktop. Of course, you can care about it later. First, we need to make the system configuration available.
1. setting up the Internet connection may be a long story. However, ADSL users are the easiest. After you enter the system for the first time, you will see many small indicator icons on the right of the Panel, there is an up and down arrow icon. This is a network connection indicator. Right-click "edit connections" or "edit connection" and click "Add" in the last "DSL ", the connection name does not matter. Select "connect automatically" and enter your ADSL account and password in "username" and "password. Click "apply" and close. Click the Network icon and click "DSL connect. If you still cannot connect to the Internet, restart it.
2. If you can access the Internet, you may have noticed that the Chinese system is incomplete and the system will prompt you for this. Click system> Administration> language support on the left side of the upper panel to download the language Pack. After the restart, you will find that all menus have become Chinese.
3. Install the Chinese input method. In fact, ubuntu10.10 already has a Chinese input method. Maybe you are not very familiar with it, or you may not like it. Do you want an input method similar to sogou? Sorry, no, but there is something similar. You can use the following command to install fcitx:
Sudo add-apt-repository ppa: wengxt/fcitx-nightly
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get install fcitx-config-gtk fcitx-sunpinyin
Choose system> preferences> language support. In "keyboard input mode system", select fcitx.
4. Install ubuntu tweak and click http://ubuntu-tweak.com/. select and download it on the first page. Wait, are you using firefox? Where can I download it? Click "location"> "Download" in the upper-left corner of the Panel. You will find the downloaded items.
5. Why haven't you ever wanted a 3D desktop? First of all, I want to tell you that Shenma special effects are all cloud games. Oh, you still insist that there is a chip icon in the upper left corner of the Panel. Will you be prompted that the attachment driver is not yet installed? Click "Install. Only after the necessary graphics card driver is installed can your 3D effects be enabled. Right-click the desktop, select "Change desktop background", select visual effects-> extend, and drag the window to try it. If your window is like a rubber band, it indicates that advanced effects can be opened. Then, open ubuntu tweak in the Application> system tools, and toss your desktop in the compiz settings.
6. next, relax, listen to a song, download several mp3 songs online, click rhythmbox in the audio and video, drag the song file, install the MP3 plug-in as prompted, and finally listen to the song, why is the song name garbled? Open a terminal. What is a terminal? Press ctrl + alt + t to open the black box. Enter the following command:
Sudo apt-get install python-mutagen
Find.-iname "*. mp3"-execdir mid3iconv-e gbk {};
You will find that the song name is not garbled. However, we recommend that you use banshee, a music player called female. In the next version of ubuntu, it will be used as the default music player. You can search for and install it in ubuntu tweak or software center. Or directly use the following command:
Sudo add-apt-repository ppa: banshee-team/banshee-unstable
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get install banshee-community-extensions
We recommend that you install smplayer in the Software Center, which is recommended by countless people.
7. It is very easy to change a topic. However, we recommend that you use gnome-look to change the topic.
8. Wait. Why can't I see QQ? Go to the official QQ download page and select the deb package version to download and install, but it is far worse than that in windows. No way. linux has fewer users. If you use MSN or gtalk, click the envelope icon in the upper-right corner, select empathy, and configure it. A software allows you to log on to multiple different accounts.
9. Install nautilus-elementary and download and install it with ubuntu tweak. You will find a simpler folder browser. Why is the "minimize/maximize/Close" icon still on the left? In fact, it is quite good on the left, and the Apple system is also on the left. No one has to say anything about it, but we can still change it to the right. ubuntu tweak is the simplest, select the "right" option. Spend some time on ubuntu tweak and you will find many simple settings. This software has become a master of Optimization under ubuntu, but I think this is an insult to ubuntu tweak.
10. chrome is recommended for browsers. Maybe you have already started using this excellent browser in windows. It is no different from windows in ubuntu. However, firefox is also very good and highly configurable. Its Large plug-in library is enough for you to watch for a long time. You can always find the plug-ins that make you excited, such as mouse gestures. Opera is also a good choice. It is said that "the process of configuring firefox is the process of configuring firefox to opera ".
11. Extended reading: if you are not a programmer, computers are usually used for entertainment and occasional office work. We recommend you read the story of dummies. Very good.
12. Don't worry about it. What should we do? It feels better to work with ubuntu. Slowly, you will find many of its small features. For example, if you place your mouse over an audio file, you can try it. Open the folder and press F3. You can split the main window into two independent windows, it is useful in some cases. Nautilus-elementary also supports the F4 and F7 keys. Let's see what the effect is.
