04/12/23

Level of Abstraction

04/12/23

1. Linux is multitasking and multi-user operating system. 2. The shell is a program that interprets your commands and passes them to kernel for processing. 3. The kernel is written is C which makes it relatively easy to port from one machine to an other.4. The kernel is the mastermind program that schedules jobs and allocate resources (time, memory, disks and other peripherals) thereby shielding the user from hardware.

All about Shell

Type commands directly to Linux The commandline offers power and flexibilityThe command-line utilized in Ubuntu is known as bash—the BourneAgain ShellCommand-line programs are sometimes known as shellsbash is the default in most popular Linux distros

Create a user >sudoadduser “ur name without quotes”Create an other user >sudoadduser “someone else name without quotes”Navigate to “home” directory and list file/folders there >cd (enter)>pwd (enter)>ls (enter) Make directories as shown in the tree >mkdir user1/Documets/mail user1/Documets/tmp user2/Documets/mailCopy tmp from user1 to user2>cp –r user1/Documets/tmp user2/DocumetsNavigate to user2’s tmp folder >cd user2/Documents/tmpRemove user1’s mail folder >rmdir /home/user1/Documents/mail

/home

Relative vs Absolute pathAbsolute path: Starting with “/”Relative path: Starting with the current directory Considering the previous tree >pwd <enter>/home/user1/Documents/mailNow navigate to user2’s mail >cd/home/user2/Documents/mail <enter> (Absolute)

>cd../../../user2/Documents/mail <enter>(Relative)

/home

user1 user2

File System

04/12/23

Personal extensions

Make a directory named “myext”>mkdir ~/myextWrite plain files using any editor like: “nano” >nano memo.maths memo.english>nano score.maths score.englishList files to confirm files creation>lsmemo.maths memo.english score.maths score.english One of the advantage of personal extensions >ls –al *.mathsmemo.maths score.maths

04/12/23

Two names for the same file?

/

home etc media

user1

user2

Desktop

Desktop

…

Every file and folder has a unique i-node ln geeko.txt gg <enter> nano gg <enter> (geeko.txt will be displayed)

Practical application:To avoid long paths

Mount DirectoriesMount even windows drives

04/12/23

Now we are going to mount Windows drives to UbuntuMounting Drive: C mkdir ~/Desktop/DriveC mount strage_device mount_point mount /dev/sda1 / ~/Desktop/DriveCUnmounting Drive: C umount /dev/sda1 / ~/Desktop/DriveCStorage devices like CD-ROM and USB mounted automatically as soon as u plug them in. /media/cdrom/media/<name of USB>

Exercise

1. View the hidden files on your ~ directory2. Create a directory called new_dir in your ~3. Create a file called old there4. Create a hard and symbolic link for this file5. View the inode numbers of these links6. Try removing new_dir using rmdir7. Remove new_dir and all its children

Packages Snatch, configure and install and customize

04/12/23

Using apt utility - Automatic >apt-get install <package name> This is automatically snatch the package from the repositories listed in /etc/apt/sources.list and install on your distro >apt-cache search <package name>To remove the package >apt-get remove <package name>To intsall the <package-name.deb> >dpkg <package name>

04/12/23

Get Source package - Manual

Download source code in compressed format Decompress the package Navigate into the package folder Apply the triangle command in sequence >./configure>make>make installTo run the software/package just type the name >package-name<enter>

04/12/23

Code compilationUsing gnu compiler

04/12/23

C source file compilation

Packages: gcc-*.*, g++Create a file >nano ~/hello.cPaste the following code lines #include<iostream.h> void main(){ cout<<“Hello Geeks”; }</code>Compile the file using gcc compiler >gcc hello –o hello <enter>This will drop a file hello in the same folder Give permission to make it executable >chmod a+x hello <enter>>./hello <enter>Hello Geeks
