Computer Science Main Lab
• Location: NPB 2.118 (up the big stairway and to the right)
• On the right side, it has have about 40 Linux workstations running
14.04. You will want to use these when you are in the Main Lab.
• On the left side, it also has about 40 VDI monitors.
• There will be TAs or tutors available most week days from 10-5. For
more information, see www.cs.utsa.edu/~clark/mainlab.htm
• Your degree will probably be more enjoyable if you spend time in the
Computer Science Main Lab.
VDI Servers
• You can access our Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) servers from
most browsers.
• Link: https://vdi.cs.utsa.edu
• Your VDI login: abc123 id
• Your initial password: <see Larry for it> (lowercase, no spaces)
We can’t provide it on public networks.
• If you added the class since Friday, you probably don’t have a login id.
If you don’t have a working login id, send me an email with your
abc123 id.
• VDI only persists your V drive!
(section 1 – 830am) Login to VDI
How to Login to VDI in a Classroom
(section 1 – 830am) Save a link to my web site
• My website http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~clark/
• Save that link on your V: drive:
• From the VDI desktop, right click and select New Shortcut
• Enter my website above
• Move that icon to your V: drive.
• You might want to go to the lecture notes for cs2123 and open this
ppt.
Attendance
• Attendance is required.
• Section 1: record attendance using ClassQue each day (see next slide)
• Section 2: sign in each day
• A class sign-in sheet will be passed around except on Exam days.
• I need a volunteer who will remind me to pass around the sheet about 10
minutes into the class. This is worth a total of 5 points for the entire
semester.
(section 1 – 830am) ClassQue
• ClassQue is a program to record attendance each day in class. Note that it
won’t do it if you login remotely (i.e., you aren’t in the class room).
• You must download and execute the ClassQue installation.
• Go to http://classque.cs.utsa.edu/classque2/utsa/student.html
• Run the bat file for CS2123 section 001.
• It will create a startup folder and startup.bat file on your V: drive.
• This will cause a ClassQue icon to be included on the VDI desktop every
time you login to VDI.
• When you arrive in CS2123 each day, please record your attendance by clicking
on the ClassQue icon. If it asks you for your seat number, enter the one that is
on the monitor (possibly the back).
Remote Servers
• At least one of the servers should be up at all times.
• These run Ubuntu Linux 11.04
• Server addresses are <see Larry for them>
• Your login id is your abc123 ID.
• Your password is defaulted to your banner ID without the @
• You can get to these externally using:
ssh –X [email protected]
• You must make certain your code runs on the remote server before submitting it
for grading.
