SDL Resources

Student VMs

The campus has a blade server for SDL projects. Details:

• The host names are sdlstudentvmXX.msoe.edu where XX is a one or two-digit number.
• Your login is a bit non-standard for Unix hosts: if your email name is eee, then the login is 'eee@ad.msoe.edu'.
• Remember that when you log in to a Unix host, it does not echo passwords (including not displaying dots as you press keys).
• You can use any SSH client to log in; PuTTYis a good choice. Ask questions on Slack if you're having problems with this.
• You must be behind the campus firewall to access the servers. In particular, off-campus clients will not be able to access them.
• All students with logins on a particular system should have sudo access. Let us know if you don't so we can get it corrected.

Atlassian Notes

• To turn off automatic notifications when someone posts to an issue you create,
  1. Open JIRA
  2. Click on your picture in the lower left, select settings under the JIRA sub-menu
  3. Change Watch your issues to Disabled
  4. Unselect any items you don't want to be notified about in the Email notification preference section. It might be good to keep "someone mentions you" on the list.
  5. Click Save changes
  You can also clear some of the Email notification preference items at the bottom, but often simply turning off automatic notification resolves the problem.
