KEY CONCEPTS

Purpose of Having a Matrix Account

While attending Seneca College, you will be using many different computer systems to perform various operations. Some of these servers include:

my.senecacollege.ca Learning Content Management System (Student Grades / Notes / Online Quizzes)
ict.senecacollege.ca Main ICT Webserver
wiki.cdot.senecacollege.ca Course WIKIs for Seneca College Students
matrix.senecacollege.ca Linux Account for Student Practice and Assignment submission


A shell is an interface / interpreter to allow a user to communicate with the Linux computer system.

Although you need to study concepts throughout this course, you will also need to learn to issue and memorize simple as well as more advanced Linux commands. This requires that you practice issuing Linux commands on a frequent basis to become more comfortable when working within the Unix and Linux command-line environments.

For this course, it is important to learn how to open a command prompt in order to issue commands to perform common tasks. In Unix/Linux, a shell is simply an interface / interpreter to allow a user to communicate with the Linux computer system (server). Linux shells have evolved (improved) over a period of time. You will be using the Bash Shell which is considered to be user-friendly. By understanding how to issue Linux commands, you can create a file consisting of Linux commands and programming techniques called a shell script (learned later in this course) to automate tasks to make you a more productive user and administrator.

Layout of the Matrix Server

The Matrix server consists of several Virtual Computers all connected together to form a cluster. A cluster is a cost effective alternative to larger servers.

The Matrix server consists of several Virtual Computers connected together to form a cluster. A cluster is a cost effective alternative to buying larger servers.

All registered students in this course should have an account on the Matrix server. You will be using this account for the following reasons:

  • Issuing Linux commands
  • Becoming productive using the Linux command prompt (shell)
  • Performing Linux Practice Tutorials
  • Performing Linux Assignments (3)
  • Practice Issuing Linux Command Review Questions


In the next investigation, you will learn how to connect to and login to your Matrix server account from a remote computer such as your home desktop computer or your laptop computer.

INVESTIGATION 1: ACCESSING YOUR MATRIX LINUX ACCOUNT

In this section, you will learn how to access your Matrix Linux account by either using the AppsAnywhere application,
downloading and installing a Windows application, or open a terminal and issue the ssh command if you are using an Apple Mac computer.

MyApps (AppsAnywhere) Main Window

If you were able access to one of Seneca computer labs, You could access an application to connect to your Matrix account via the MyApps application.

Since many students are not permitted to access Seneca's computer labs at this time due to COVID19, you can install and run the AppsAnywhere application (which works in an identical way to MyApps) on a remote Windows computer. This application is an application streaming service that lets you install software on any Seneca PC on demand. Any software application on the AppsAnywhere menu can be used on computers in classrooms, labs, and the Computing Commons.

Reference: https://inside.senecacollege.ca/its/software/myapps/

NOTE: Although you can install and run the AppsAnywhere application on an Apple Mac computer, you will NOT have access to many of the Windows applications (including applications to connect to your Matrix account). In this case, you can open a terminal and issue the ssh command to connect to your Matrix account.

You will now learn how to access your Matrix account.


Perform the Following Steps:

ATTENTION: If you are using a Apple Mac computer, or a computer running the Linux OS, you can refer to the procedures and proceed to INVESTIGATION 2.

SSH from macOS:

  • Launch Terminal from the finder utility
  • On the command line, enter the following command:
    ssh matrixusername@matrix.senecacollege.ca
  • Enter your password when prompted.
    Answer yes to any questions it may ask you.

SSH from Linux:

  • From the menu, choose Applications > System Tools > Terminal.
  • On the command line, enter the following command:
    ssh matrixusername@matrix.senecacollege.ca
  • Enter your password when prompted
    (You will not see the cursor move but that's OK)


If you have a Windows OS, perform the following:


Click on Login button.
Enter your Seneca email address.
Authenticate via your Seneca username and password.
  1. Open a web-browser on your Windows PC.

  2. Click on the following link: https://myapps.senecacollege.ca/

  3. Click the Login button to proceed.

  4. When prompted, enter your your Seneca College email address.

  5. You will be taken to the authentication dialog box: enter your Seneca College username and password.

    Click on on the blue area.
    Click on Next to install the streaming application.
    MyApps (AppsAnywhere) Main Application Window
  6. A dialog box appears to offer a choice of actions. You need to install an application to support the Apps Anywhere streaming service.
    Click on the blue area to install the application.

  7. Click on Next to proceed with installing the streaming application.

  8. You should notice that the AppsAnywhere main application window appears.

    NOTE: You may see a Validation in Process (or a validation successful) message appear .
    Although your applications are displayed, you cannot launch them until the validation process is successful.

    Validation in Process Message in AppsAnywhere.
    Starting Cloudpaging Service in your System Tray.
    You can tell if the system is still validating if an red exclamation mark ! appears in the application icon.

    If the validation process is taking a long time, try opening the Cloudpaging service in the system tray located in the right side of the taskbar (you may need to click to display ALL services and then double-click the Cloudpaging application to launch).

  9. After your AppsAnywhere session has been validated, click on the Search Apps area located
    in the top right corner of the AppsAnywhere window and type the word: ssh

    Several SSH applications will appear. We will use the application called SSH Client for this practice tutorial.
  10. Several SSH applications will appear.

    NOTE: All of these applications allow you to connect to your Matrix account.
    We will use the application called SSH Secure Shell Client for this practice tutorial.

  11. Launch the SSH Secure Shell Client application icon to launch this program.

    TIP: Prior to launching the application, you can add this to your favourites which will make it faster
    to access this application in the future.

    NOTE #1: If you experience a problem launching any of your applications, you should note that there is a Cloudpaging Player application
    that lists applications launched. If your application did NOT launch properly, right click on each listed application and select remove from the menu.
    Then re-launch your application from the AppsAnywhere page (the IT service desk indicated that this can occasionally occur).

    NOTE #2: If you have problems starting the SSH Secure Shell Client application, you can manually download and install this application.
    Here is a direct link: http://www.sfsu.edu/ftp/win/ssh/SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9.exe

    NOTE #3: If you have a newer version of Windows 10, you may be able to open the command prompt and issue the command:
    ssh senecauserid@matrix.senecacollege.ca


    You have been provided multiple ways to access your Matrix account. Select a method that makes it easier for you!

    Let's assume that we have launched the SSH Secure Shell client application. Let's learn how to connect to and login to our Matrix account.

    Cloudpaging Player Application Window
    SSH Client Application Window
  12. The main SSH Client window will appear. Click on the Quick Connect button.

    NOTE: The Connect dialog box allows the user to specify the server name and your account name
    to allow you to connect to the server.

    Quick Connect Dialog Box
  13. Click on the textbox labelled Hostnanme and enter the text: matrix

    NOTE: You can use the hostname matrix since you are located inside Seneca's network.
    If you where located outside Seneca's network, then you would need to enter the full domain name: matrix.senecac.on.ca
    You will be using the latter hostname since you will be connecting to your Matrix account remotely and not within the college.

    Dialog Box to Share Public Key on Remote Server
  14. When connecting securely for the first time, a dialog box will appear to share a "public key" with your Matrix account in order to make your interaction between your workstation and the remote Linux server secure within the network (i.e. encrypted to prevent unauthorized access by other users)

    FYI: To make communications over a network secure, a computer generates two keys: a private key that is kept on the computer, and a public key, which can be shared with other computers. Transmissions from your computer uses the private key to encrypt (scramble) transmission to the remote computer, which in turn, uses the public key to decrypt (unscramble) the transmission. Likewise, the remote computer uses the public key to encrypt (scramble) transmissions and your computer uses the private key to decrypt (unscramble) those transmissions.

    Password Dialog Box
  15. Click the Yes button to share your public key.

  16. Next, a dialog box will appear prompting you for your Matrix account password in order to gain entry to your Matrix account. Your Matrix password is identical to your Seneca password. As you type the password, the text will be blocked-out or hidden to prevent others from viewing the screen to obtain your password
    Authentication Response Dialog Box


  17. Enter your password and click OK or press ENTER

    SSH Login Error
  18. Click OK or press ENTER at the Authentication Response dialog box.

    NOTE: If you encounter an error message, this can occur for several reasons:
    1. You mis-spelled the name of the server
    2. You mis-spelled your Matrix username (same username that you connect to my.senecacollege.ca)
    3. You have CAPS LOCK on by mistake (your username should be lowercase only).
    4. You mis-spelled your password (same password that you connect to my.senecacollege.ca)

    If you encountered an error logging in, issue the same steps to connect to your Matrix account,
    but carefully check your server name, username and your password. If you continue to experience the same problems,
    you can email the computer help desk at servicedesk@senecacollege.ca

    Matrix Shell Command Line Interface
  19. If you entered your password correctly, the main SSH Linux shell should appear where you enter Linux commands.

    The Matrix server has been configured to allow users to only interact with the Linux OS by issuing commands. There are various reasons for this, but the main 2 reasons are to force students to learn how to issue Linux commands as well as limitations to remote access to a graphical Linux server due to large number of users (students).

    Later in the course, your instructor may demonstrate other ways of accessing graphical versions of Linux, and how to launch a shell terminal.

    You can configure the SSH application to adjust elements such as the window size and text font type and text font size.
    SSH Settings Dialog Box


    We will now show you how to configure your SSH Secure Shell Client, but the other applications can allow you to configure their settings.


Perform the Following Steps:

  1. Click on the Edit menu item, and then select Settings in the Edit drop-down menu.

  2. To change the size of your shell window, under the Global Settings section, click Appearance

  3. Change the window size both horizontal and vertical to larger values.

  4. To change the font size, under the Global Settings section, click Font

  5. Select a larger font size and click OK

  6. You now should notice that you have customized your SSH shell terminal. You can use the settings screen
    to also change your background and text colours if you are interested in doing so.

  7. To exit your Matrix session, type the following command and press ENTER: exit

    NOTE: You should notice that the colour of the text changes slightly when disconnected and you are unable to issue Linux commands from that window.

  8. After you have disconnected from your account, close the SSH Secure Shell Client application window.

  9. It is recommended to repeat these steps with connecting to your Matrix account from a Seneca lab workstation until you become comfortable with the process.

    TIP: If you used AppsAnywhere to launch your SSH application, you can run your SSH application from AppsAnywhere in the future by opening the Cloudpaging service from the system tray on the right-side of the Windows taskbar and double-click on the the listed SSH Client application in the list.

In the next investigation, you will learn how to issue Linux commands and how to setup and perform the first two sections of the online ULI101 assignment #1.

INVESTIGATION 2: USING THE LINUX SHELL / ONLINE ASSIGNMENTS


In this section, you will learn how to use the Linux Shell. Topics in the section include:

  • Learn the Linux command structure (arguments and options)
  • Learn how to get help for Linux commands with manpages (man command).
  • Learn Basic Shell Editing
  • Learn how to perform online assignments.
  • Perform the first two sections of online assignment #1.

Part 1: Using the Linux Shell

The Bash shell in Matrix allows you to interact with your Matrix account by issuing commands.

Some Linux commands can be issued by entering the Linux command line without arguments (e.g. pwd, date, ls, cal),
but some Linux commands can be issued with arguments (e.g. cal 2002, cd /bin, ls -la ).

Linux Command Structure

command argument1 argument2 ...

An argument can be a pathname, text, option, etc.

An argument is separated from a command (or from other arguments) by a SPACE, multiple spaces or a TAB.

For example:

  • The ls command displays a listing of filenames in the current directory
  • The ls /bin command displays a listing of filenames in the /bin directory (as opposed to your current directory)
  • The ls -l command displays a detailed listing of filenames in the current directory
  • The ls -l /bin command displays a detailed listing of files in the /bin directory


Getting Help with Linux Commands

With the Linux OS containing over 2500 commands and utilities, it is good for a Linux user or sysadmin to learn about how to use commands “on-the-fly”.

The man command can provide information on how to use a command (i.e. usage, arguments, options, examples).
The commands are classified into sections or volumes.

Perform the Following Steps:

  1. Make certain that you are logged into your Matrix account.

  2. Issue the following command: man man
    How many volume numbers are contained in the man pages (like executable commands/programs, games, or system administrator commands)?

  3. Press the letter q to exit the man command.

  4. Issue the Linux command to get help with the command: ls

    NOTE: You can use the following short-cut keys within the man command to
    help navigate throughout this utility to get help with the ls command (refer to table below):

    Keyboard ShortcutPurpose
    ENTERMove down one line
    SPACEBARMove one screen down
    <ctrl><f>Move one screen up
    /pattern/Search for Pattern
    qquit man utility

  5. Navigate through the man utility for the ls Linux command and note the option letters that correspond to the following:
    • Include directory entries whose names begin with a period
    • List in long (detailed) format
    • Recursively list subdirectories encountered
    • Sort files by size
    • Display a forward slash (`/') immediately after each pathname that is a directory

  6. Exit the man utility for the ls command.

  7. Issue the ls command for each of those option letters you wrote down to see how this command differs for each option.

    NOTE: The man utility can be used with the -k option to help list Linux commands that match a text pattern that is contained within the help screen for a Linux command.

  8. Although we will not be learning about pipeline commands (using the | character) until later, try issuing the following pipeline command: man -k copy | grep 8
    How this this pipeline command make it easier to obtain information regarding man command?

  9. If you wish to change your password, you can change it by issuing the command: passwd
    What option for the passwd command can be used to change user info (such as name)?
    Hint: use the man command for passwd.

    NOTE: You are NOT required to change your Matrix password for this tutorial. The Matrix server is "synched" with the my.senecacollege.ca server, so it is better to have your Matrix password changed at the same time that you change your myseneca password.

Command Line Editing

Learning shortcut keys in any OS terminal will allow you to be more productive as a sysadmin. You will focus on learning a few common Bash Shell keyboard shortcut keys and learn where you can access online help for additional shortcuts (if required).

Perform the Following Steps:

  1. Type the following Linux command, but DON’T press the ENTER key: cd /bin

  2. Press the ctrl-a key combination. What happens?

  3. Press the alt-F key combination (OPTION+right-arrow for Mac OSx). What happens?

  4. Press the ctrl-w shortcut. What happens?

  5. Type the following command: ls

  6. Press the ctrl-e key combination and press ENTER

  7. Press the up arrow key. What happens?

  8. Press the ctrl-u key combination. What happens?

  9. Press the up arrow key combination, and see what happens when you press BACKSPACE , <ctrl><BACKSPACE> and <ctrl><h>. Why is it important to know those series of key combinations?

  10. Press the ctrl-u key combination to clear the line.

  11. Press the ctrl-l key combination. What happens? What is the advantage of using this key combination then issuing the clear command?

Part 2: Performing Online Assignments

You are required to perform 3 online assignments during this course. This online assignment is used to teach and reinforce Linux commands are techniques as well as using Linux commands to perform tasks and tests students on their knowledge of issuing Linux commands.

In this section, you will learn to select the correct section for your online assignments, how to perform the first two sections of assignment #1, how to verify that you successfully completed both sections, and how to exit your online assignment #1.


Perform the following steps:

Initial Assignment Window to Allow Student to Select Correct Course Section.
  1. In your Matrix account, issue the following command:
    ~uli101/assign1

  2. A screen similar to the one displayed on the right will appear.

    WARNING: You need to select the CORRECT section for the course which you belong to.
    If you do NOT select your correct section, your assignment may not be recorded for marks!


  3. Select the letter(s) corresponding to the correct ULI101 section and professor and press ENTER

  4. After you have selected your course section, There will be a screen that provides several important notes before proceeding.
    Please take a few moments to read those notes and press ENTER to proceed.

    Main Assignment Window to View Which Sections Need to be Completed.
  5. The assignment main menu will then be displayed.

    NOTES:
    • Near the bottom of the window, you will see "You are currently registered to" followed by the section letter and instructor name. Double-check your course timetable to confirm that this the correct section letter. If you have selected the WRONG section, type C in the menu selection area and press ENTER. You will return back to the original window to select your correct course section.

    • Near the top of the window displays the sections to complete in the assignment. You are NOT required to complete all sections at the same time. You can check the assignment #1 link on the ULI101 main WIKI page to note the due date for assignment #1. Sections that are NOT completed will be displayed in reverse text with a blue background. On the other hand, when you compete a section, then the section will appear as regular text
      (i.e not in reverse text).

      Main Assignment Window to Confirm Which Sections Have or Have Not Been Completed.
    • If you want to verify that you have completed sections for the assignment, look for the text "Marks earned so far for ULI101 Assignment:" and it will show how many sections have been completed. When it shows all sections completed, then your assignment is finished and you should receive full marks provided that you have selected your correct course section.

  6. At the menu assignment #1 window, enter 1 in the menu selection area to begin the first section called "Introduction to Unix Commands".

  7. When you have completed this section, you will be returned to the main window.
    View the contents of this window to confirm that you completed this section.

  8. When you have time this week, enter 2 in the menu selection area and perform the first 3 parts only
    (Unix Command Structure, Entering and Editing Commands, Using the Online Manual).

  9. When you have completed this section, you will be returned to the main window.
    View the contents of this window to confirm that you completed this section.

    NOTE: Although you are NOT allowed to use reference sheets for course evaluations, it is recommended to create one for your personal use, and write down Linux commands, their arguments and options, so your can successfully perform quizzes, midterm exam, and final exam.

  10. Proceed to the next section to perform additional practice. Linux is about "doing"! The more practice questions you perform, the better mark you will achieve for this course and have a better foundation of issuing Linux commands to be more productive in your future courses.

LINUX PRACTICE QUESTIONS

The purpose of this section is to obtain extra practice to help with quizzes, your midterm, and your final exam.

Here is a link to the MS Word Document of ALL of the questions displayed below but with extra room to answer on the document to simulate a quiz:

https://ict.senecacollege.ca/~murray.saul/uli101/uli101_week1_practice.docx

Your instructor may take-up these questions during class. It is up to the student to attend classes in order to obtain the answers to the following questions. Your instructor will NOT provide these answers in any other form (eg. e-mail, etc).
