- | You should know that the institute of computer science uses several different operation systems. These are Windows and Unix-like ones, which are installed in the computer pools in the container building. In special cases you may find some Solaris systems. | ||

- | ==== I cannot log in anymore ==== | ||
- | - You tried too often to log in. After 5 attempts you are blocked for 15 minutes before you can start a new attempt. | ||
- | - The login process starts but stops after some time. You do not have any free disk space left. Try to clean up your home directory - on Windows it is usually the C: disk. Make sure you can see the hidden files. (files starting with a dot are hidden on linux systems). \\ Alternatively, | ||

- | ==== I cannot access the computer pools via access card ==== | ||
- | |||
- | - Your card is damaged or scratched. \\ You need a new card. It costs 7 euros which will be deducted from your [[de: | ||
- | - You have not submitted an application for an account renewal. You have to do this every year. | ||
- | - Please notify the support group Neubau. | ||
- | - You have not complied with the house rules or policies. | ||
- | - Balance your account. [[en: | ||
- | |||
- | ==== I cannot print ==== | ||
- | - Your print account does not contain enough money. \\ | ||
- | Balance your account. [[en: | ||
- | - Determine how much money is on your print account. \\ To do this, log in to **zeus** via [[en: | ||
- | Please note that the payment needs several days until it arrives on your account. If the money was transferred from your bank account but did not arrive on your print account, write an email to [[pacadm@informatik.uni-bonn.de]], | ||
- | ==== How can I log in on ZEUS on Windows operating systems? ==== | ||
- | There are several possibilities to log in in on a UNIX machine from a Windows machine, | ||
- | |||
- | e.g. using the icon named Putty {{: | ||
- | |||
- | A new window pops up. Into the line Host Name type the name zeus and set the button SSH to on. | ||
- | \\ \\ | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | Now log in with your login name and your password. The first command you should call after a successful login would be **pacinfo** or **quota**. | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | ==== I have exceeded my disk space ==== | ||
- | Mostly on Windows systems you'll notice that you have exceeded the disk space limit when it is too late, because you won't be able to log in anymore. | ||
- | |||
- | - Solaris | ||
- | - At the login screen choose | ||
- | - Press < | ||
- | - Login with your login name and password, press < | ||
- | - The command quota -v will display how much disk space you use on what disk. \\ If the text EXPIRED appears, you have exceeded your disk space for more than 7 days. Now you need to delete as much of your home directories content until the text EXPIRED from the command "quota -v" no longer appears. | ||
- | - There are several Unix commands to check how much disk space you use currently: \\ e.g. **ls -l** or **du | more**, where the first command shows the size of each file in the directory. With the second command you will see the directories with all sub-directories. The lists are displayed in number of blocks. One block represents 512 bytes. (If you have not yet engaged in UNIX, we recommend the book: LINUX IN A NUTSHELL). | ||
- | - The command to delete file is rm (stands for remove) which needs some additional parameters, such as //rm *.pdf//. Thus, all PDF files in the current directory will be deleted. | ||
- | - Linux | ||
- | - Press < | ||
- | - y but press <F1> instead of < | ||
- | Make sure there are no files called core and that the directories called //.Trash// are empty. These directories are in: \\ | ||
- | |||
- | *. / Mail / Trash \\ | ||
- | *. / .dt / Trash \\ | ||
- | *. / Nsmail / Trash | ||
- | |||
- | Please also consider hidden files. On Windows you can make them visible by choosing Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> see below \\ | ||
- | To display the files sizes choose View -> Details. | ||
