Training laptops

XX – laptop number

Setup: 1. Switch on • Username: trainXXuser • Password: PPMP.trainXX 2. PuTTY to login03-09 (any): 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: trainXXlinux • Password: HPC.trainXX 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: HPCtrain (for all)

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).
