I am new to Ubuntu and I am unable to see the files in /etc
, /bin
and /boot
. I want to know by using which command I can see them?
I have tried logging in as root sudo -s
and tree
command but unable to view them.
The directories you are looking for are in /
cd /
ls -l
This is a screenshot with the tree:
You don't need to use sudo for reading them (you would need it for writing in some of them)
I've posted 2 commands; I had a problem with end of line
By default, the file browser (nautilus) opens a window in your home directory. Under the "Files" icon in the launcher, default directories inside your home directory are listed. On the left pane in a nautilus window however, there is a section "devices". Under Devices, you will find "Computer". Click on it and you will see all directories from the system's root directory, including the directories you mention.
You could try a basic command tutorial like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
ls /
. Hope that helps.
