Daily Ubuntu Tips – Adding User Accounts In Ubuntu
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Ubuntu is a multi-user operating system. Multi-user OS means that more than one users are access the computer with separate and individual profile with home folder, documents, and settings. User A can login and make changes to his/her profile without affecting user **B’s** profile.
|
||||
|
||||
So, instead of creating a single shared account for everyone in your household, you can create an individual account for each user who will be using your home computer. This brief tutorial is going to show you how to do that when using Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, click on the far fight of the menu bar and select the gear icon, then click System Settings.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When that opens, click ‘**User Accounts**’ from the bottom of your screen as shown below
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You need administrative privileges to add user accounts to Ubuntu. If you do, click Unlock before adding accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next, click the plus ( + ) button to create a user account.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There are two primary account types when creating new users. **Standard User** and **Administrator**. User with administrative rights can delete users, install software and drivers, change the date and time and can make changes that may render the computer unstable.
|
||||
|
||||
Standard won’t be able to make these changes. He/she can only change stuff in his/her profile.
|
||||
|
||||
When you enter the full name of the user, the username will automatically be selected for you based on his full name. It’s ok to keep it but you can change it if you like. When you’re done, click Create to create the account.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the account is disabled and will remain so until you change/add a password. To enable the account, click the Account disabled button, then type a new password.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to user to automatically logon without typing password, you can choose the drop-down option while setting his/her password to logon automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Adding Users To Existing Groups
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
For new users and newbies who are just starting out with Ubuntu, managing users and groups can be challenging especially since the old users and group management tool doesn’t come with Ubuntu anymore. In prior versions of Ubuntu, one could easily manage users and group with the users-admin tool which is part of Gnome system tools.
|
||||
|
||||
That tool no longer come with Ubuntu. Now the only tool that’s available is simplified and only allows you to create, manage and delete user accounts. So, if you need to add or delete users from groups in Ubuntu, you’re going to use the commands terminal or console.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you want to give certain users access to files or increase their access level, the best way to do it is with group permissions. You create a group, then give the group the correct permissions and add users to the group to assume those permissions.
|
||||
|
||||
Since there’s no easy way to manage group permissions in Ubuntu currently, this brief tutorial is going to show you how to do it from the command console. It’s just a one-line command and not too complicated once you understand it.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, press **Ctrl – Alt – T** on your keyboard to open the terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
To view all current groups on Ubuntu, type the command groupmod and (**hit the tab key 3 times**).
|
||||
|
||||
groupmod <HIT TAB 3 TIMES>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That will list all the current groups on your system. Now to add user to existing groups in Ubuntu, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo adduser USERNAME GROUPNAME
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you wish to add Richard the sudo group, run the commands below
|
||||
|
||||
sudo adduser richard sudo
|
||||
|
||||
That’s it. To verify a user group membership, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
id richard
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Disable Ubuntu Lock Screen
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
When you’re new to Ubuntu, there are some things you wouldn’t know right away. These like changing your password, disabling features and creating new user account. One thing that new users often ask about when testing out Ubuntu is how to turn off the lock screen or stop Ubuntu screen from going dark.
|
||||
|
||||
These are easy tips for newbies. For Ubuntu power users, these tips are nothing new but this tutorial is not for power users. This is for new Ubuntu users only.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu is designed to automatically lock itself after a few minutes automatically. You must always type your password to unlock it before using it again. If this is too much trouble for you, you may want to turn it off and this brief tutorial is going to show you how.
|
||||
|
||||
It is for security reason your computer locks itself. If you disable it or turn the feature off, your computer will never lock and anyone with physical access may be able to sign in and use it. If that doesn’t trouble you, then continue below to learn how.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, sign into Ubuntu and click the Control Option (the icon at the very right of the menu bar) icon and select **System Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next,click Brightness & Lock icon from the system settings panel
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, switch off the Lock Screen option.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That’s it! To re-enable it, go back the switch it back on. It is a great feature and protects you. If you know your privacy or information won’t be at risk, then you can disable it.

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Easiest Way To Access Your Files From Windows
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Whether you’re a new user or someone with deep knowledge working with Ubuntu and Windows, one thing that’s true is using Samba is the best way to share / access Ubuntu files from Windows. It’s also easy to setup and manage using many other third-party tools.
|
||||
|
||||
For new users or newbies who want to learn how to quickly access Ubuntu files from Windows, this brief post is going to show you how. Our goal here is to help new users. We manage to write our tutorials so newbies can read and understand them without too much trouble.
|
||||
|
||||
We’re not going to go into too much details here about what Samba is or how to configure Samba to join a domain and all of that. What we’re going to do is just show you how to install and setup Samba in Ubuntu to access your files from Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to learn all about Samba, I suggest you search Google or Wikipedia. To get started, open your terminal / console in Ubuntu and run the commands below to install Samba and other Samba related tools.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install samba cifs-utils
|
||||
|
||||
The above commands will install Samba and other related tools. In previous versions of Ubuntu, you may have to replace cifs-utils with **smbfs**. But if the top commands work for you, then you’re good.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, using gedit, open the main Samba configuration file and make the following changes. To do that, run the commands below to open Samba config file.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
|
||||
|
||||
When the file opens, look for the line shown below and uncomment (remove the ; before the text) it. It should be like this:
|
||||
|
||||
security = user
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next, scroll down in the file and also uncomment the lines as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
[homes]
|
||||
|
||||
Doing this will allow users to access content in their home directories or folders. For instance, if your uncomment the [homes], user should be able to access their home content by typing the server name followed by their account name.
|
||||
|
||||
\\192.168.0.2\username
|
||||
|
||||
Next, run the commands below to add your account to Samba Database. Doing this allows you to use Samba to access shares.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo smbpasswd -a usernmame
|
||||
|
||||
Replace username with your account name.
|
||||
|
||||
When prompted to create a password, create and confirm it. Finally, restart Samba or restart your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
To access your files from Windows, go **Start –> Run** and type the line below. Or open Explorer and type it as in the image below.
|
||||
|
||||
\\ubuntu_machine_IP\username
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips – How To Install Google Chrome Browser
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
For new users who are just starting out with Ubuntu and want to install Google Chrome browser, here’s the quickest way to do it. There are many ways to install Google Chrome in Ubuntu. Some prefer going directly to [Google Chrome download page][1] and getting the **deb** installer.
|
||||
|
||||
Others prefer to install it via PPA from the Chromium build. I prefer downloading it via the command line using **wget** command and installing it. The command line method is the quickest and this is what this post is about to show you.
|
||||
|
||||
As you may already know, Google Chrome has gone from nothing to one of the most popular web browsers. In fact, it’s my favorite web browser. I started with Internet Explorer, then moved to Firefox and I’ve finally switched to Google Chrome.
|
||||
|
||||
I am not telling you to switch, but if you want Chrome in Ubuntu, then go and get it.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started with Chrome, you have few options. First you can use Firefox and go to [Chrome download page][1] and download a copy there. If you’re not comfortable with using the command line, you may want to use this method.
|
||||
|
||||
For users who are comfortable using the command line console, use the commands below to download Google Chrome.
|
||||
|
||||
cd /tmp
|
||||
|
||||
For the **32-bit** version of Google Chrome, use the link below.
|
||||
|
||||
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
|
||||
|
||||
The 64-bit version can be downloaded using this link.
|
||||
|
||||
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
|
||||
|
||||
After downloading it, run the commands below to install it.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*; sudo apt-get -f install
|
||||
|
||||
That’s it! After installing, go to Unity Dash and search for Chrome and launch it.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Protect Your Home Folders
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Few days ago we [showed][1] you how to change your home folder in Ubuntu so that only authorized users may see your content. We said that the adduser utility creates user’s directories in such a way that make them world readable. This means that any all users who have accounts on the machine will be able to browse and view content in your home directory by default,
|
||||
|
||||
To read our previous post on this, [please click here][2]. In that post, we also showed you which permission settings to apply to your home folder to that it isn’t browseable by anyone.
|
||||
|
||||
In this blog post, you can accomplish the same by encrypting your home folder. When encrypt your home folder, unauthorized users will also not be able to browse or access your home directories.
|
||||
|
||||
Encrypting your home folder may not be suitable for everyone in every environment so make sure you’re absolutely certain that you want to use this feature in Ubuntu before actually using it.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started encrypting your home directory, logon to Ubuntu and run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils
|
||||
|
||||
Since your can’t be logged-in while encrypting your exiting home folder, you must create a temporary account and login with it. Then run the commands below to encrypt your home folder. Replace USERNAME with your account name.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo ecryptfs-migrate-home -u USERNAME
|
||||
|
||||
When you login as the temporary user, run the **su** command plus your username to run commands as you, since your account has root / admin rights. You’ll be prompted for your password.
|
||||
|
||||
su USERNAME
|
||||
|
||||
Replace USERNAME with the username of the account that has root / admin rights.
|
||||
|
||||
After that, encrypt your home folder by running the **ecryptfs-migrate-home –u USERNAME** command.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a user in Ubuntu, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo adduser USERNAME
|
||||
|
||||
To delete user in Ubuntu, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo deluser USERNAME
|
||||
|
||||
When you login, you’ll see the screen shot below giving you more information about your encrypted home folder.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To create future users with encrypted home directory, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
adduser –encrypt-home USERNAME
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Resize Ubuntu Unity Launcher
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Here’s another tip for users who are new to Ubuntu. This series aims to help new users to Ubuntu configure and manage their computer easily. It’s not geared towards Ubuntu power users or pros, rather users who are just starting with Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu launcher is a key part of Ubuntu Unity Desktop. The launcher is the vertical bar with icons that sits on the left hand side of your screen when you logon. It allows you to easily open or launch programs from your desktop. It also provides quick access to applications, workspaces, removable devices and the trash bin.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the launch size is set to 48 even for smaller screens. If you want to increase or decrease the size of the launcher, then continue below to learn how.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many reasons why you’d want to adjust Unity launcher. One good reason is to resize it to fit on smaller screens. If your screen is small and the default size isn’t suitable, then you may want to change it.
|
||||
|
||||
If the default size of the icons are too small and want to increase it, then adjust the launcher to increase the icons so they’re easy to click.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, click the gear button at the top right of the menu bar as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next, select Appearance
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, use the slider to adjust (increase / decrease) the launcher icon size.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The changes should apply automatically. Remember, if you want to stick with the default, move it back to 48.
|
||||
|
||||
This is another Ubuntu tip for new users. Keep coming back for more tips on Ubuntu. If you’re power users and wish to contribute, please leave a comment below

||||

||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips – Understanding The App Menus And Buttons
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Ubuntu is a decent operating system. It can do almost anything a modern OS can do and sometimes, even better. If you’re new to Ubuntu, there are some things you won’t know right away. Things that are common to power users may not be so common to you and this series called ‘Daily Ubuntu Tips’ is here to help you, the new users learn how to configure and manage Ubuntu easily.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu comes with a menu bar. The main menu bar is the dark strip at the top of your screen which contains the status menu or indicator with (Date/Time, volume button), the App menus and Windows management buttons.
|
||||
|
||||
Windows management buttons are at the top left corner of the main menu (dark strip). When you open an application, the buttons on the main menu at the top left corner with close, minimize, maximize and restore is called Windows management buttons.
|
||||
|
||||
The App menus is located at the right of the Windows management button. It shows application menus when they are opened.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Ubuntu hides the app menus and windows management buttons unless you move your mouse to the left corner, you wouldn’t be able to see them. If you open an application and can’t find the menu, just move your mouse to the left corner of your screen to show it.
|
||||
|
||||
If this is confusing and you want to disable the app menus so that each application can have its own menu, then continue below.
|
||||
|
||||
To uninstall or remove the app menus, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get autoremove indicator-appmenu
|
||||
|
||||
Running the command above will remove the app menu also known as global-menu. Now for the change to take effect, log out and log back in.
|
||||
|
||||
Now when you open applications in Ubuntu, each application will show its own menus instead of hiding it on the global menu or main menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That’s it! To go back to what it was, run the commands below
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install indicator-appmenu
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

|
||||
|
||||
There are many ways to upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu. Some prefer upgrading via a DVD disc while others with stable Internet connections prefer to upgrade directly from the Internet. The Internet option is the easiest and fastest because you don’t have to wait for the DVD disc to arrive before upgrading.
|
||||
|
||||
If you don’t have good Internet bandwidth, please upgrade from a DVD disc. This post is going to show you how to upgrade via the Internet only.
|
||||
|
||||
For those with good Internet connections, please update your current version by running the commands below. The commands below install all pending updates as well as remove packages and kernel headers that are no longer needed. Leaving these may cause issues with upgrading.

||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
|
||||
|
||||
After running the above commands and finish updating all pending packages, restart your computer. When you log back on, press the **Alt + F2** keys on your keyboard. When the run commands box opens, type the below command and press Enter.
|
||||
|
||||
update-manager -d
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Software Updater windows show open. From there, hit the upgrade button to begin upgrading.
|
||||
|
||||
Before upgrading, please make sure to disable or remove all external PPA repositories from your machine. Also backup your computer before upgrading.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Once you’re done upgrading restart your computer and verify if everything is running ok.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

For new users who are just starting with Ubuntu, here’s some information that may help you if you want to use webcam in Ubuntu. You see, Ubuntu aims to support the vast majority of webcam right out of the box. Most webcam manufacturers don’t provide drivers for for Linux systems, including Ubuntu. So Linux developers must do the hard work by enabling support for most webcam devices in the Linux Kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
Webcam support for Linux is provided by the Linux UVC Project’s [UVC][1] driver. The aim of this project is to provide a universal USB support for webcam in the same way a general USB driver handles USB devices like thumb drives, external USB devices and others.
|
||||
|
||||
The vast majority of USB webcam out there should work with Linux systems, including Ubuntu with the support of the Linux UVC project driver. If you want to purchase a webcam for your Ubuntu computer, but want to make sure it’s supported, [check out the UVC supported webcam list][2].
|
||||
|
||||
Webcam on the list above support Linux machines easily. So, before purchasing webcam for your machine check out the list and find the model you like and purchase it.
|
||||
|
||||
After purchasing a model that supports Linux systems, you’ll need an application in to display or view your videos. Currently the most popular webcam application for Ubuntu is Cheese. Cheese allows you to access your webcam and display the video easily.
|
||||
|
||||
To install Cheese, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install cheese
|
||||
|
||||
After installing it, open it via Unity Dash and launch it. If the webcam device is already attached, Cheese should begin showing the video from the webcam.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a laptop equipped with webcam, chances are it should work because support for generic USB webcam is common with Ubuntu. All you have to do is install Cheese and enjoy!
|
||||
|
||||
If you can’t get your current webcam to work in Ubuntu, you may have to purchase a model that works.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Daily Ubuntu Tips–Change The Logon Screen Background
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Here’s a simple tip that shows you how to change Ubuntu logon screen background with custom images. Ubuntu logon screen is ok and maybe better than most Linux distributions, but if you want to show custom images like ones that remind you of special places and things, you may be able to change it using the steps below.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many ways to do this and this post is just one of many. The method below uses dconf-editor and lightdm user to accomplish to get the same results. To do it, change to the root user and give lightdm user access to the x-server. Next using lightdm user credentials, run dconf-editor and make the change.
|
||||
|
||||
After setting the custom logon image and restarting, you should see the picture everytime you start your machine. If image is one you love and brings back a log of memories, you should be delighted everytime you startup Ubuntu to logon.
|
||||
|
||||
This tutorial assumes you already have dconf-editor installed on your machine. If not, run the commands below to install dconf-editor.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install dconf-editor
|
||||
|
||||
Next, choose the image you wish to use as your logon image. Then take notes of the location, including the image name. Next, run the commands below to change to the root user.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo –i
|
||||
|
||||
Next, run the commands below to give lightdm user access to the X-Server. Lightdm is the service that manages the logon background so if you need to make changes to the logon screen, it should be done as lightdm user.
|
||||
|
||||
xhost +SI:localuser:lightdm
|
||||
|
||||
Next, change to lightdm user by running the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
su lightdm -s /bin/bash
|
||||
|
||||
Then run the commands below to start dconf-editor.
|
||||
|
||||
dconf-editor
|
||||
|
||||
When the tool opens, browse to **com –> canonical –> unity-greeter**. Then change the background value to the custom image. You may also want to disable draw-grid.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Restart your computer and enjoy your~

Daily Ubuntu Tips–Knowing About The Root Account
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
For new users who just starting with Ubuntu and wanting to know about the root account, here’s a brief post that gives you a little insight about the root account and how / why to use it. You see, every Ubuntu edition comes with a root account.
|
||||
|
||||
The root account is also known as the administrator account. Think of the root account as an account with god-like rights. It can delete any file, any folder and make any change to the system. The power of the root account is limitless.
|
||||
|
||||
Because the root account is so powerful, it is automatically created with a password value with no possible encrypted match on the system, which makes it unusable to sign on with. So instead of directly logging on with the root account, users are encouraged to use the sudo command.
|
||||
|
||||
The sudo command allows authorized users to temporary elevate their privileges using their own password without knowing the root password or using the root account.
|
||||
|
||||
If you still want to enable and logon with the root account for other unknown reasons, simply give it a password. This will enable the root account.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo passwd
|
||||
|
||||
The commands above will enable the root account but to sign on as the root user, you must enable manual logon since it’s now been disabled in Ubuntu. The manual logon option allows for users to type their logon name as well as the password for the account instead of just selecting an account from the logon screen.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable manual logon with **Ubuntu 13.10**, open the config file by running the commands below
|
||||
|
||||
sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf
|
||||
|
||||
Then add the line below as shown in the image.
|
||||
|
||||
greeter-show-manual-login=true
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Save the file and restart your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
For earlier versions of Ubuntu, you may find this config file in a different location under **/etc/lightdm**. It may be called **lightdm.conf**.
|
||||
|
||||
On the logon screen, you can then type the root username with password to sign on.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to lock / disable the root account, run the commands below.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo passwd -l root
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!

Install Or Upgrade VMware Tools In Ubuntu
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Few days ago, VMware Workstation 10 was released. VMware Workstation is a virtualization software that lets you run multiple operating systems using a single host machine. With this software, you can run guest machines such as Windows XP, Vista 7 and 8 though 8.1. You can also run Linux operating systems, including Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
Because we use VMware Workstation to run some guest machines, we had to upgrade VMware tools on all of them. It is very important that you install VMware Tools in the guest operating system. That’s because the tool provides required support for shared folders, drag and drop operations, better graphic and improved performance.
|
||||
|
||||
This brief tutorial is going to show you what we did to install and upgrade all our guest machines that run under VMware Workstation. Other benefits that the tool provides is synchronization of time between the guest machine and the host, grabbing and releasing of the mouse, coping and pasting between the guest and hose machines and more.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, open VMware Workstation and select the Ubuntu guest machine and start it or turn it on. Next, click **VM –> Install VMware Tools…** from the host menu.
|
||||
|
||||
For you information, I am running Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) but this method may work with previous versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A virtual CD/DVD Rom should be mounted with VMware Tools archive. Next, run the commands below to extract the package to the temp directory.
|
||||
|
||||
tar -xvf /media/$USER/"VMware Tools"/VMwareTools*.gz -C /tmp
|
||||
|
||||
Next, run the below commands to begin the installation.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
|
||||
|
||||
During the installation, just press the Enter key to accept the defaults when prompted. The tool will install itself along with any required packages.
|
||||
|
||||
When it’s done, restart your computer and begin enjoying your machine.
