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 xyz, then the login is 'xyz@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 Teams if you're having problems with this. A common issue is that the light grey is hard to read. In PuTTY, you can create a session for your server and set the Window Colours so the Default Foreground is (say) 255/255/0 (bright yellow).
• 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.
• Make sure gcc is installed. If it is not, do

          sudo apt install gcc
  

  This will make sure you can install other software. Let you instructor know if gcc is not installed and doing the apt command fails.
