Ubuntu can also connect using mobile broadband, \acronym{VPN}s, or \acronym{DSL}s, however, these methods are beyond the scope of this guide.

You can open the terminal by clicking \menu{Applications \then Accessories \then Terminal}.

\prompt \userinput{cd "\textasciitilde/Music/The Beatles/Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/"}

The \commandlineapp{pwd} command is short for \emph{print working directory}. It can be used to display the directory you are currently in. Note that the prompt (the text just before the blinking cursor) also displays your current directory, so this command is not usually necessary.

The \commandlineapp{cd} command is short for \emph{change directory}. It allows you to change from one directory to another.

This command will ignore your current directory, and instead make one called \texttt{newdirectory} inside a hypothetical directory called \texttt{/tmp/example/}:

The \commandlineapp{mv} command is used to move a file from one directory to another.

If you forget your password in Ubuntu, you will need to reset it using the ``Rescue mode.''

Replace ``username'' above with your username. Ubuntu will prompt you for a new password. Enter your desired password, press enter and then type your password again, pressing enter after you are done. (Ubuntu asks for your password twice to make sure you did not make a mistake while typing.) Once you have restored your password, return to the normal system environment by entering:

To start Rescue mode, shut down your computer, then power it up. As the computer starts up, press \textbf{Esc} when you see the white-on-black screen with a countdown (the \acronym{GRUB} prompt). Select the \textbf{Rescue mode} option using the arrow keys on your keyboard. Rescue mode should be the second item in the list. \screenshot{08-grub-boot-screen.png}{ss:grub-boot-screen}{This is the grub screen in which you can choose the rescue mode.}

This manual does not explain the process of running a secure web server or performing other tasks possible with Ubuntu Server Edition. For details on using Ubuntu Server Edition, refer to the manual at \url{http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition}.

Empathy lets you connect to many instant messaging networks. You can connect to \acronym{AIM}, Gadugadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, \acronym{ICQ}, Jabber, \acronym{MSN}, Myspace, qq, \acronym{XMPP}, Sametime, Silc, \acronym{SIP}, Yahoo, or Zephyr.

\screenshot{03-firefox-find-bar.png}{ss:firefox-find-toolbar}{You can search within web pages using the find toolbar.}

If you would like to visit more than one web page at a time, you can use \emph{Tabbed Browsing} to navigate the web.

\marginnote{You can alternate quickly between different tabs by using the keyboard shortcut \keystroke{Ctrl+Tab}.}

\marginnote{You can also press \keystroke{F6} on your keyboard to highlight the location bar in Firefox.}

Once you have connected to the Internet, you should be able to browse the web with Ubuntu. \application{Mozilla Firefox} is the default application for browsing the web in Ubuntu.

To start Firefox, open the \menu{Applications} menu, then choose \menu{Internet}, and choose \menu{Firefox Web Browser}. If your keyboard has a ``\acronym{WWW}'' button, you can also press that button to start Firefox.

To navigate to a new web page, you need to type its Internet address (also known as a \acronym{URL}) into the Location Bar. \acronym{URL}s normally begin with ``http://'' followed by one or more names that identify the address. One example is ``\url{http://www.ubuntu.com/.}''

\marginnote{\acronym{URL} stands for uniform resource locator and \acronym{WWW} stands for world wide web.}

\marginnote{To set other keyboard shortcuts or to change the shortcut for launching Firefox, go to \menu{System \then Preferences \then Keyboard Shortcuts}.}

The term ``Ubuntu'' is a traditional African concept that originated from the Bantu languages of southern Africa. It can be described as a way of connecting with others\dash living in a global community where your actions affect all of humanity. Ubuntu is more than just an operating system: it is a community of people that come together voluntarily to collaborate on an international software project that aims to deliver the best possible user experience.

On the \textbf{\acronym{IP}v4 Settings} tab, you may need to change the \textfield{Method} field from ``Automatic (\acronym{DHCP})'' to ``Manual,'' or one of the other methods. For setting up manual settings (also known as static addresses), please see the section above on manual set up for wired network connections.

When you finish making changes to the connection, click \button{Apply} to save your changes and close the window. You can click \button{Cancel} to close the window without making changes.

Other connection methods

There are other ways to get connected with Ubuntu.

The following people are listed for attribution at the time of copy:

Browsing the web

Navigating to another page

To navigate:

Click on the Location Bar to select the \acronym{URL} that is already there.

Type the \acronym{URL} of the page you want to visit. The \acronym{URL} you type replaces any text already in the Location Bar.

Clicking a link

Most web pages contain links you can click to move to other pages.

Click on the link once. While Firefox locates the link's page, status messages will appear at the bottom of the window.

To see a list of any \acronym{URL}s you've typed into the Location Bar, click on the down arrow at the right end of the Location Bar. To view a page, select it from the list.

To choose from pages you've visited during the current session, open the \menu{History} menu and choose from the list in the bottom section of the menu.

To choose from pages you've visited during the past several sessions, open the \menu{History} menu and choose \menu{Show All History}. Firefox should open a \window{Library} window, which shows a list of folders. Click on the folders to displays sub-folders, or titles of web pages you've visited in the past. Click on a page's title to view that page.

Stopping and reloading

If a page is loading too slowly or you no longer wish to view a page, click on the \button{Stop} button.

To reload the current page or to get the most up-to-date version, click on the \button{Reload} button or press \keystroke{Ctrl+R}.

Opening new windows

On the menubar, open the \menu{File} menu, then choose \menu{New Window}.

Once a new window has opened, you can use it just like the first window \dash including navigation and opening tabs.

There are two ways to open a link in its own window:

Right-click on a link to open its popup menu. Choose the \menu{Open Link in New Window} option. A new window will open, containing the web page for the link you clicked.
