CS 3733 Operating Systems Recitations From VDI

The purpose of this note is to show you how to do various recitations using VDI

• Log on to your VDI account.
• Choose the standard image (v0.03).
• Start -> All Programs ->XMING -> XMing
  When you execute this, it may look like nothing has happened.
• Start -> All Progarms -> SSH Secure Shell -> Secure Shell Client
• In the SSH window: Edit -> Settings -> Tunneling
  Click on Tunnel X11 connections
  Click OK
• Log onto one of the elk machines:
  In the main SSH window, push Enter or click Quick Connect
  Note: the line below does not contain a typo. To log onto an elk machine you need to use hen, not elk.
  Enter the host name (hen01.cs.utsa.edu, or some other hen), username, etc.
• Some of the recitations require getting things from the web, to do this start a browser from your elk command line:
  firefox > /dev/null 2&>1 &    (from the bash shell)
  firefox >& /dev/null &     (from the csh shell)
• Use this browser to download files to your linux account
