Training laptops
Recently it was determined that there should be a need to offer more formal training sessions at the Unit for staff and students. Previously, sessions had been held in the computer users room but this led to several problems including lack of space and not enough machines to go around. So to facilitate a more friendly training environment some laptops have been purchased for this very purpose.
General documentation on using the training laptops can be found on the intranet.
Here, some more specific instructions about how to set up them for a hands-on session can be found:
== Setup == XX – laptop number
- 1.Switch on
- Username: ******** (ask IT)
- Password: ******** (ask IT)
Host: On some of the laptops, gateway (gate.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk) may be set as default connection. Make sure, that you do not use it, because it is slower!
- Username: ******** (ask IT)
- Password: ******** (ask IT)
- It may take a while to synchronise Materials (see below)
3.Start VNC session: •vncserver -geometry 1920x1040 :50+XX (e.g. 51 for train01) 4.Open a VNC client (e.g. UltraVNC) •Password: ******** (ask IT)
Central settings: /imaging/local/linux/config/train.login (executed during login via PuTTY) and /imaging/local/linux/config/train.chsrc (executed during opening a shell) serve as central setting for all training account. If you want to add some settings (e.g. configuration for programs), you can do it here.
Command-line shortcuts (aliases): set in /imaging/local/linux/config/train.chsrc • cdw: change directory for Workshop folder of the current user (/imaging/trainXXlinux/Workshop) • matlab: Launch Matlab R2012b (required for aa)
Materials: set in /imaging/local/linux/config/train.login I have set up an automatic synchronisation of the Material folder (/imaging/trainXXlinux/Workshop/Material) with any folder of your choosing (I recommend using folder name “Material” to be consistent). The “source” folder can be set in /imaging/local/linux/config/train.login (line 1).
