Installing the desktop machines

back

  • If the computer is still running, turn if off.
  • Turn the computer on.
  • Use F12 to enter the boot menu.
  • At the top of the menu it should read “Boot mode is: UEFI”. If not, contact a lab teacher.
  • From the boot menu, select the “Onboard NIC(IPv4)” option.


The machine will now perform a network boot. When the GRUB menu appears

  • Select “Install Ubuntu 15.04 Desktop (unattended)”
  • Be patient, the machine gives no feedback while the kernel is being loaded :-(


The machine will now do an unattended install of Ubuntu 15.04.
All existing data will be overwritten!
Realize this when you want to reinstall in the future.

After installation, the machine will reboot and boot its new installation.
This installation is configured to work within the OS3 network.
For instance, it uses LDAP to verify your credentials when you log in.

Assignment Review Process

back

To help you prepare your assignment here are a couple of points

  • Feedback is given on a weekly basis
    • To get feedback you have to finish your assignment before the deadline (announced by the lab teachers)
    • You will receive the feedback usually one week after the deadline
    • If you miss a deadline you will get feedback somewhere before the end of the block
    • At the end of the block the lab teachers will determine whether your assignments were sufficient. They must be sufficient for you to pass the course.
  • The group assignment
    • A kind of homework with the objective to work in a group (to get to know your classmates) and learn a bit more about a given topic.
    • It consists of reading a paper or watching an online video (Keynotes, tutorials, lectures, …)
    • TODO:
      • extract the interesting points and write a short summary on your own wiki (Text, figures, references …)
      • discuss them with you group members
      • Present them in the next lecture (2 to 3 mn per group, so be prepared)
  • How we review your assignments: following criteria are important
    • clarity of the given explanations
    • references
    • analysis of the proposed further reading (HomeWork)
    • robustness of the proposed solution (programming, regular expression)
    • comments
    • presentation and layout
