Hadoop 2.2 Installation `.' no such file or directory

I have installed Hadoop and HDFS using this tutorial

http://codesfusion.blogspot.com/2013/10/setup-hadoop-2x-220-on-ubuntu.html

Everything is fine.

I am also able to create directories and use them using

hadoop fs -mkdir /tmp
hadoop fs -mkdir /small

I can also say

hadoop fs -ls /

However I am following a tutorial in which the trainer does

hadoop fs -mkdir temp
hadoop fs -ls

now on my machine when I issue the above command it says

ls: `.': No such file or directory

In my training video the command hadoop fs -ls works perfectly. Why should I specify the "/"?

Also I am getting this warning in all my commands

13/12/28 20:23:52 WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable

But in my trainers video there is no such warning.

My configuration file is exactly as the tutorial above and I can also see all management UIs at

http://abhishek-pc:8042/
http://abhishek-pc:50070/
http://abhishek-pc:8088/

So my question is what is wrong with my configuration and why is my system behaving differently than the training video?

First of all when you want for the first time to put something in your HDFS you should do this steps

hdfs fs -mkdir -p /user/nameuser(the name of user )
hdfs fs -put ~/file

I faced a similar type of problem during tutorial by hadoop form link-

http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html

when i tried command - bin/hdfs dfs -put etc/hadoop input , it says

mkdir: `input': No such file or directory

then problem solved by adding extra / to input and command should be -

bin/hdfs dfs -put etc/hadoop /input

Well, your problem regarding ls: '.': No such file or directory' is because, there is no home dir on HDFS for your current user. Try

hadoop fs -mkdir -p /user/[current login user]

Then you will be able to hadoop fs -ls

As per this warning WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable, please see my answer at this question

This could also happen due to bad carriage return characters. Run `dos2unix' on all your hdfs executable (shell script) and if required all other related shell scripts as well.
