Linux Commands for Beginners 05 - Basic File Editing

[@lianattily282]

I'm new to this university and everyone in my classes is already familiar with Linux and VM except for me, so this has been immensely helpful!!! Thank u so much.

[@TheRenoir]

The recap of the previous video is a nice touch. Great series for we Noobies. Thanks.

[@binsitt]

3:12 if nano is not installed and you do not know what editor to use, juste type 'editor', which will invoke the standard editor of the installed distribution.

[@chouaibcs4614]

thanks !

[@MrDavidablake]

Thank you so much, Jay.

[@abeljoshua4228]

I have struggled with vim in time past especially trying to quit. Good to have a brief understanding how vim works now

[@josephpa05]

@@ItsMe-fu7bbhow do you remember all these commands?

[@MrDavidablake]

@@josephpa05 Practice, my friend!

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

It took a while but I also have vim on my laptop now. Downloaded the source first, means I would have had to cross-compile stuff. Waaaayyy over my head. I'll learn that next week, thnx. Anyway, on with the show.

[@michalroesler]

Awesome video Jay.

[@mikepawlikguitar]

10:39 that's SO funny!! I literally could NOT figure it out so I hade to terminate the terminal instance 😂

[@Billliamm]

If nobody has asked before, can you please normalize your volume levels while editing the video. It sounds like you are turning your head away from the mic every 30-60 seconds. It makes it pretty hard to hear on the low spots. Thanks for the great content!

[@RiseSteadyNC]

Thank you for this awesome series! I am a new Ubuntu user and this has been very helpful :)

[@babakghaffari5722]

well explained. GoodLuck!

[@AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you, Jay.

Debian 10 has been released. Are you going to make the definite video guide series to installing Debian 10 on a laptop/PC? =)

[@cheeseburgers4056]

Thanks Jay!

[@maurolimaok]

Question: why did you type ls and it showed ls -l in the first seconds of video? Did I miss something?

[@jakestandley7668]

Thanks!

[@MirkWoot]

haha, the VIM joke.. without knowing that one, I have actually been saying to everyone "I don't use VIM.. because when I use it, I can't find my way out", so it's no joke :P.

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

Not there yet in the video, is it something to do with passwords and how to obtain a good one?

[@vg75]

newbie here, tried installing VIM, getting 'username is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.' Tried editing sudoers with nano, to add my user in the file getting 'etc/sudoers' is meant to be read only file. Running a virtual box in Xubuntu as per 1st video of the series. How to go around these errors so I can install the VIM ?

[@mthamma1]

bru you should show how you did the unicorn

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

True, you can't just show off a unicorn and then step over this fact as if nothing just happened.

[@tihgvfuvctvf55685]

He shows how he did it in part 7

[@chouaibcs4614]

is nono text editor the same as gedit ?

[@SauravNayak98]

I'm not able to install vim. It is saying 'Temporary failure resolving 'in.archive.ubuntu.com' ' and Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

[@jackson85df]

how to exit from nano ??? i keep pressing x it won't work ...

[@different8137]

which command is not working on my distro(archlinux)

[@dhanushnanu313]

When I use touch command, it’s showing permission denied . What should I do?

[@mohammedabdullahalmutairi2313]

change the folder you want to create the file in. If that doesn't work, use sudo touch instaed of touch.

[@twilightsass517]

How on earth do you claim to not be creative when you have a unicorn command prompt?

[@franciscodubon7108]

gracias!

[@sandybryson1211]

What is the Default ROOT user Password? Also, when I type the Touch Command to Create the File, I get an Error Message.... touch: cannot touch testfile.txt

[@robertadams5092]

HI, The tutorials are great but I keep getting an error when trying to install vim or other applications!! : E: dpkg was interrupted, must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' I add that to the command line and get command not found so basically nothing works!!!!!!!!!!! any Ideas I'm on the verge of giving up as it is just a waste of time!!!

[@robertadams5092]

sorry I'm new to this stuff and struggling but find it really fascinating and Nano work but I just can't install anything on Linux ubuntu

[@Xeno_Bardock]

How to setup VirtualGL with VirtualBox or QEMU for full 3D hardware acceleration in virtual machine?

[@Xeno_Bardock]

[@ivan_says_hi]

Nano > Vim. (Its to hard to use keyboard shortcuts on a touch screen!)

[@elma.177]

[@oscargm1979]

Esc then put :q!

[@alexandrprincip6366]

What the terminal font?

[@alanperry9873]

I am new to Linux and found this Video series. I have followed the steps to create a Virtual box 6.1 using the Xubuntu 22.04 however when I attempt to run the touch testfile.txt I receive an error "touch: cannout touch 'testfile.txt': permission denied" This was not shown in the Video so not sure what I have missed

[@mohammedabdullahalmutairi2313]

maybe you try to create a file in the root folder(The beginning of the file systme). try to change the folder first using cd command.

[@realmwatters2977]

I have to laugh because copying and pasting other peoples Linux commands in terminal dooesn't always work, I found when trying to list what hardware i have, i copyed and pasted and what says on websites like say Ubuntu, past it in terminal, and what you supose to get, you end with nothing so whats going off?

[@saad5891]

Am I the only missing the point here? Whats the point using this kind of text editors when we have graphic editors?

[@reversev9778]

They are faster than graphical editors, which mattered a lot in the early days. They also typically have more keyboard shortcuts which allows someone to type and edit files much quicker than someone who has limited shortcuts and/or relies on moving the mouse a bunch.
