Operation notes: Linux Desktop GNOME Operation Skills

Linux has been developed for so many years and has been accepted by many computer users. Linux is a mature and stable network operating system. At present, more and more websites use Linux operating systems. Here we will introduce the Operating Skills of GNOME in Linux desktop environment, and share it with you here. GNOME is one of the mainstream integrated desktop environments on Linux Desktop. GNOME Desktop is welcomed by Linux users because of its concise style and convenient operations.

The following describes some common operating skills in the GNOME desktop environment. These skills bring great convenience to our operations and allow us to experience the power of open-source Linux Desktop.

Window top check and entry

Similar to Windows systems, when multiple Windows are opened, if the current window is displayed to the maximum extent, other Windows cannot be displayed. In this case, even if you switch to another window, other windows will be displayed in the foreground, but when you operate in the next window, the window displayed in the foreground will be overwritten. In the GNOME desktop environment, you only need to right-click the title bar of the window to be topped if you want to display a window on the front-end (that is, to display it on top, in the pop-up shortcut menu, select the "always top" option and it will not be blocked by any other window.

This considerate little function can solve some special needs in our daily work. For example, when we need to use the information in a window as a reference, while the other maximized window as the main operation interface, we can set the reference window to the top, at the same time, enter in the following window (1 ).

It is easy to unpin the top menu. You can close it directly or right-click the title bar of the top window, and click "always top" again in the pop-up shortcut menu.

Right-click the startup terminal and choose

GNOME terminal Program ("gnome-terminal") is the most commonly used tool for Executing command line programs, which are usually under the menu "Application → attachment. Obviously, as a common tool, it is too inconvenient to click "Application> attachment" for each startup.

Don't worry, we can add it to the right-click menu so that you can start the GNOME terminal at any time, just right-click it.

By default, in the blank GNOME desktop area, right-click and choose no GNOME terminal program menu item from the shortcut menu. To add this menu item, we need to manually install a software package named "nautilus-open-terminal. This software package is included in the Ubuntu system software source. As long as the current system is connected to the Internet, we can use the "apt-get" command to install it.

Let's click "Application> attachment" in the last menu and start "terminal". Enter the following command:

"Sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal"

After the command is run, the software package is automatically downloaded and installed online. After the installation is complete, log out from the current user and log on to the Ubuntu system again. After Entering the GNOME integrated desktop environment, right-click the blank area on the desktop. In the shortcut menu that appears, you can see a new item "open in terminal" (2). Is it much more convenient?

Quick logout of wonderful combination keys

Currently, the Linux system does not allow login users to log out quickly from the current environment, but do not worry, you can use the keyboard combination key "Ctrl + Alt + BackSpace. In addition, similar to Windows systems, when the desktop stops responding, you can also try to press this key combination, it will "kill" the current X process ("/usr/X11R6/bin/X", that is, the background service process in the graphical window) and return to the Ubuntu system logon interface, you do not need to restart your computer. In this way, after successful login, you can perform normal operations again. These are the Operating Skills of GNOME in Linux Desktop.
