You have two command-line options is ubuntu: 1) terminal emulator in a fancy window or 2) the old school virtual terminal. 1) the terminal emulator is a normal window on your desktop that you type commands into. To open it in ubuntu 13.04, just type "terminal" into the search bar (hit ubuntu symbol in top left corner to get it) and click on the terminal icon. 2) The old school version has the advantage of not running in the current graphical desktop, useful if the desktop dies or you want to remove distraction. You normal have 7 virtual terminal at startup. They can be accessed using the key combo "ctrl-alt-Fx" where x is a number 1-6. The 7th virtual terminal is running you graphical desktop, this can be re-accessed by type alt-ctrl-F7 from any virtual terminal. For beginners I suggest using 1. For people who want a true terminal experience, use 2.

[sudo] acpi -b

In the last few versions of ubuntu, you can open the dash and search the name of the application.
Just run these commands in the terminal: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Let ubuntu update itself.
There is no defined shortcut for many distributions but if you're running an Ubuntu-based distro, the default keybind for pulling up a terminal window is Ctrl+Alt+T.
There is a GUI tool that you can use, or try the 'passwd' command in a terminal window.
