Printers

Status of printers

When a new Linux system is installed, usually the cups-daemon is started which automatically finds the printer server. Alternatively, only the cups-client needs to be installed, the cups-daemon can be de-installed. In this case, the line

is necessary, either in the file /etc/cups/client.conf or in .cups/client.conf in your home directory.

Network

For a fresh install, configure a static ip-address. Iris Mansky will have to provide you with an ip-number and should know the hostname and MAC-address of your computer. For a static configuration, have a look at this example.

Note: A fresh install of an operating system usually tries to acquire an ip-address from a dhcp-server, which will succeed. However, these numbers are very limited and should be used only very temporarily.

Mathematica and Matlab

Matlab and Mathematica are installed on math.fluid.tuwien.ac.at. The math-computer can be accessed via ssh with the credentials of your TU-account. To check your credentials, try to access your e-mail via http://webmail.tuwien.ac.at . Username and password are the same on math.

Mathematica and Matlab both query a license server. Therefore, these programs can also get installed on your desktop computer.

To provide for malfunction of the authentication service, it is probably wise to generate a public/private key-pair with ssh-keygen on your personal computer and append your thusly created public key, .ssh/id_rsa.pub, to .ssh/authorized_keys in your home directory on math.
