When you hover your mouse pointer over a button and don't move it, it will gradually change color. When it has fully changed color, the button will be clicked.

<app>Synaptic Package Manager</app> is more powerful and can do some software management tasks which <app>Ubuntu Software Center</app> can't. Synaptic's interface is more complicated and doesn't support newer Software Center features like ratings and reviews and therefore isn't recommended for use by those new to Ubuntu.

Click <gui>Search</gui> to search for an application, or click <gui>Sections</gui> and look through the categories to find one.

Connect to the Internet using a <link xref="net-wireless-connect">wireless</link> or <link xref="net-wired-connect">wired connection</link>.

Third-party software repositories are not checked for security or reliability by Ubuntu members, and may contain software which is harmful to your computer.

On the PPA's overview page, look for the heading <gui>Adding this PPA to your system</gui>. Make a note of the PPA's location, which should look similar to: <code>ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next</code>.

Switch to the <gui>Other Software</gui> tab.

Click <gui>Add Source</gui>. Enter your password in the Authenticate window.

Close the Software Sources window. Ubuntu Software Center will then check your software sources for new software.

When the Software Center opens, click the <gui>Installed</gui> button at the top.

Find the application that you want to remove by using the search box, or by looking through the list of installed applications.

You may be asked to enter your password. After you have done that, the application will be removed.

Click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and select <gui>Set Up New Device</gui>.

Make sure that your Bluetooth adapter is switched on. Click the Bluetooth icon in the <gui>menu bar</gui> and check that it's not <link xref="bluetooth-turn-on-off">disabled</link>.

Click the Bluetooth icon in the <gui>menu bar</gui> and select <gui>Bluetooth Settings</gui>.

You can send files to connected Bluetooth devices, such as some mobile phones or other computers. Some types of devices don't allow the transfer of files, or specific types of files. You can send files in one of three ways: using the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, from the Bluetooth settings window, or directly from the file manager.

Click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and select <gui>Send Files to Device</gui>.

Click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and select <gui>Bluetooth Settings</gui>.

The Bluetooth icon in the menu bar

You can turn Bluetooth on to use Bluetooth devices and send and receive files, but turn it off to conserve power. To turn Bluetooth on, click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and click <gui>Turn On Bluetooth</gui>.

Many laptop computers have a hardware switch or key combination to turn Bluetooth on and off. If the Bluetooth hardware is turned off, you will not see a Bluetooth icon in the menu bar. Look for a switch on your computer or a key on your keyboard. The keyboard key is often accessed with the help of the <key>Fn</key> key.

To turn Bluetooth off, click the Bluetooth icon and click <gui>Turn Off Bluetooth</gui>.

Using models such as a CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram is a huge simplification of the human visual system, and real gamuts are expressed as 3D hulls, rather than 2D projections. A 2D projection of a 3D shape can sometimes be misleading, so if you want to see the 3D hull, install <code>gnome-color-manager</code> and then run <code>gcm-viewer</code>.

If you have already set up Evolution, click the clock on the menu bar and then click the <gui>Add Event</gui> to start adding appointments. As appointments are added, they will appear below the calendar when you click on the clock.

Click the icon at the very right of the menu bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.

To adjust the time and date, click on the clock located in the <gui>menu bar</gui> and select <gui>Time &amp; Date Settings</gui>.

Run benchmarks on your hard disk to check how fast it is.

When the test is finished, the results will appear on the graph. The green points and connecting lines indicate the samples taken; these correspond to the right axis, showing access time, plotted against the bottom axis, representing percentage time elapsed during the benchmark. The blue line represents read rates, while the red line represents write rates; these are shown as access data rates on the left axis, plotted against percentage of the disk traveled, from the outside to the spindle, along the bottom axis.

Below the graph, values are displayed for minimum, maximum and average read and write rates, average access time and time elapsed since the last benchmark test.

The screen will automatically turn off after you haven't used it for a while. This only affects the display, and doesn't turn off your computer. You can adjust how long you have to be inactive with the <gui>Turn screen off when inactive for</gui> option.

Sticky Edges

A typical problem with dual monitors is that it's easy for the mouse pointer to "slip" to the other monitor when you don't want it to. Unity's <gui>Sticky Edges</gui> feature helps with that problem by requiring you to push a little bit harder to move the mouse pointer from one monitor to the other.

You can switch <gui>Sticky Edges</gui> off if you don't like this feature.

Find your desired device or media type, and then choose an application or action for that media type.

Instead of starting an application, you can also set it so that:

For example, if you drag a file from a USB memory stick to your Home folder, it will be copied, because you're dragging from one device to another.

In the <gui>Blank CD/DVD-R Disc</gui> window that appears, select <gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui> and click <gui>OK</gui>. The <gui>CD/DVD Creator</gui> folder window will open.

You can use the file manager to change the name of a file or folder.

To copy a file to an external device like a USB flash drive, or to upload it to a server you've connected to, select <gui>Removable disks and shares</gui>, then select the device or server you want to copy the file to.

Files with a "~" at the end of their names (for example, <file>example.txt~</file>) are automatically created backup copies of documents edited in the <app>gedit</app> text editor or other applications. It is safe to delete them, but there's no harm to leave them on your computer.

In the Personal section, click <gui>Keyboard Layout</gui>.

You can preview an image of any layout by selecting it in the list and clicking <gui><media type="image" src="figures/input-keyboard-symbolic.svg" width="16" height="16">preview</media></gui> or by clicking <gui>Preview</gui> in the pop-up window when adding a layout.

When you add multiple layouts, you can quickly switch between them using the keyboard layout icon in the menu bar. The menu will display a short identifier for the current layout, such as <gui>en</gui> for the standard English layout. Click the layout indicator and select the layout you want to use from the menu.
