Vacman

2017-04-07T09:34:48Z

Mom:

We have programmed an easy to use procedure for out of office replies. It is completely managed within your mail client.

== Initial Setup ==

If you are using the vacation system the first time you have to run an initial setup: [[mailfilter-setup]]. In this setup you can also configure our spam filter.

If not existing a mail folder 'Templates' will be created. Possibly the folder is not subscribed. Thunderbird users open a context menu from any folder and check their subscriptions after they choose 'Subscribe'.

[[File:tb-subscribe.png|frame|Folder Context Menu in Thunderbird]]

== Preparing the out of office reply ==

In the template folder you will find some instruction (same as below) and an example mail.

If you want to send automatic replies to people that try to reach
you during a vacation period, make sure you define a subject and/or
a body text:

* Inside the subject, you may refer to the original subject by inserting $SUBJECT (which will be replaced accordingly).

* If you only define a body text and no subject, the subject will automatically be created as 'Auto: ' followed by the original subject used by the sender.

* Inside the body, you may refer to the last day of vacation by inserting $LAST (which will be replaced by the corresponding date).

=== Defining the vacation period ===

To define vacation periods, add one or more of the following
pseudo-addresses in the To: field of the vacation message:

YYYY-MM-DD@vacation (to define a single day of vacation)
first.YYYY-MM-DD@vacation (to define the first day of a period)
last.YYYY-MM-DD@vacation (to define the last day of a period)
permanent@vacation (to turn on vacation mode forever)

=== Forwarding messages ===

If you want to forward incoming messages to one or more colleagues
during a vacation period, edit the To: (recipient) field of the
vacation message to hold a mail address of each person.

=== Configure Aliases ===

If you have more than one mail address, you should first define all
equivalent addresses (on a single line) in '.vacman/aliases' inside
your home directory.

=== Save as template ===

'''Important:''' To save the vacation message do not press the 'Send'-Button. Instead you must save the message in the Template folder (File->Save as->Template).

If you do not want to send automatic replies to people that try to
reach you during a vacation period, be sure to leave both subject
and body empty (also omitting attachments and signatures).

Messages in 'Templates' are never considered for vacation handling if they only have invalid or inactive (past or future) vacation periods. So you may enable vacation messages on demand, pre-define periods, and let the vacation system take care of (de-)activating them.

As final example the image shows a complete Vacman template:

[[File:Vacman.png|center|A complete Vacman template]]

==Setup automatic reply with Webmail==
If you don't use the Thunderbird Mail client, there is a way to set up an automatic out-of-office reply for the webmail interface too:

# Open 'Options' at the top the page.
# Chose 'Folder Preferences' to change the way your folders are displayed and manipulated.
#: [[File:Webmail_options.png|border|900px|]]
# Find 'Draft Folder' under 'Special Folder Options'.
# Chose 'Templates' and apply by clicking on the Submit button below.
#: [[File:Webmail_folder_preferences.png|border|450px]]

Now on the left hand-side you can find your Templates folder. You want to chose 'Resume draft' to edit the out of office template as described above.

Intel Compiler

2017-01-24T10:54:09Z

Mom: /* .bashrc */

This page describes, how to setup your environment for using our Intel Compiler Installation. The instruction are for '''bash''' shell user. If you use a different shell, you know what you are doing and you will be able to translate the configuration.

We provide the recent version 13 of the Intel compiler suite for Fortran, C/C++ and the full set of performance libraries like MKL, TBB, Cluster_OMP.

== .bashrc ==

In order to use the installation you have to modify your '''.bashrc'''. Open the file with you favorite editor and append the following lines.

<pre>
#Intel Compiler Setup
export LM_LICENSE_FILE="16287@th.physik.uni-frankfurt.de"

intel_arch="intel64"

# old path Version 2013: ifortvars=/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.2.144/bin/compilervars.sh

ifortvars=/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2017.0.098/linux/bin/compilervars.sh
if [ -f $ifortvars ]; then
. $ifortvars $intel_arch
fi

</pre>

There are similar files with .csh extension for C-Shell users.

After sourcing your .bashrc or opening an new shell you can validate your setup with 'which ifort'. This should point to somewhere in /opt.

== Parts of the license ==

We own a license for "Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Fortran and C++ Linux" which includes the following components:

* Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Fortran and C++ Linux
* Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library for Linux
* Intel® Distribution for Python for Linux
* Intel® HD Graphics Drivers for Linux
* Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives for Linux
* Intel® Math Kernel Library for Linux
* Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for C++ Linux
* Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Fortran Linux
* Intel® Threading Building Blocks for Linux
* Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor software Linux

== Implicit parallelization ==

This version of MKL has internal parallel code (based on openMP) which uses all CPUs in the system. This is fine on the desktop as it will speed up your caluclation. But on the compute nodes this will conflict with other jobs running on the same machine. Therefore you have to restrict the number CPUs used to the number of allocated slots in SGE. Your can do this by defining the following environment variable:

export OMP_NUM_THREADS=x

where x is the number of allocated slots. Using 1 means traditional serial processing. You should benchmark your program how many parallel threads will give a reasonable performance per CPU value.

== Documentation ==

The comprehensive set of Intel documentation will be found under '''/opt/intel/composerxe/Documentation/en_US'''.

Scanning with Brother MFC

2016-08-26T09:29:47Z

Mom:

In order to use the scan function of one of the institutes printer, you need to be permitted first. Therefor please contact your system administrator.
If you are already permitted to scan, you still need to setup your printer of choice.

===Add your printer===
Open a terminal and add your printer
brsaneconfig4 -a name=[device name] model=[model name] ip=[IP address of the printer]

'''Example:''' brsaneconfig4 -a name=psGV model=MFC-L5700DN ip=10.62.0.25
Get the IP address of your printer
ping [device name]

Now if you open a scan software like scanlite or xsane, you are able to choose from all the printers you've added before.

Connecting to new SAMBA Service for more reliability and stability

2016-01-15T11:15:11Z

Mom: /* Windows 7 */

This guide is for all you Windows 7/10 users, who need to connect to our network drive but face different (annoying) issues instead. 
This is all in the past now. We've set up a whole new Samba service for you which is fully integrated into LDAP service. So no more 'could not connect to your network drive' error!
Here are the steps to connect to the new Samba service.

2016-01-15T11:07:39Z

Mom:

This guide is for all you Windows 7/10 users, who need to connect to our network drive but face different (annoying) issues instead. 
This is all in the past now. We've set up a whole new Samba service for you which is fully integrated into LDAP service. So no more 'could not connect to your network drive' error!
Here are the steps to connect to the new Samba service.

=== Windows 7 ===
# Open Computer by clicking the Start button and then clicking "Computer".
# Click "Map network drive".
# In the "Drive" list, click a drive letter. You can choose any available letter.
# In the "Folder" box, type <code>\\samba-itp\USERNAME</code> while USERNAME stands for your own login name. To connect every time you log on to your computer, select the "Reconnect at logon" check box.
# Click "Finish". You will be ask to type in your login name and passwort for verification.
# Click "OK". Your computer is now connected, or mapped, to the network drive.

=== Windows 10 ===
# Open File Explorer and on the left select "This PC".
# Click the "Map network drive" button in the ribbon menu at the top.
[[File:Win10_this_pc.PNG|thumb
|Map network drive in This PC (Windows 10)]]
# Then select "Map network drive." This is under the "Computer" tab, which should open automatically when you go to This PC, as above.
# In the "Drive" list, click a drive letter. You can choose any available letter.
# In the "Folder" box, type <code>\\samba-itp\USERNAME</code> while USERNAME stands for your own login name. To connect every time you log on to your computer, select the "Reconnect at sign-in" check box.
# Click "Finish". You will be ask to type in your login name and passwort for verification.
# Click "OK". Your computer is now connected, or mapped, to the network drive.

== Connect to SAMBA printers ==

Connecting to printers work as above.

=== Windows 7 ===
# Open "Devices and Printers" by clicking the Start button and then, on the Start menu, clicking "Devices and Printers".
# Click Add a printer.
# In the "Add Printer" wizard, click "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer".
# Windows will search for available printers, but you want to click "The printer I want isn't listed".
# Select "Select a shared printer by name" and type <code>\\samba-itp\PRINTERNAME</code> while PRINTERNAME stands for the name of the printer e.g. "psKyo2".
# If prompted, install the printer driver on your computer by clicking "Install driver".
# Complete the additional steps in the wizard, and then click "Finish".

=== Windows 10 ===
Coming Soon!

Firefox: Annoying reset request

2015-05-13T09:29:35Z

Mom: /* When Firefox wants to reset to default configuration, but You don't want to */

=== When Firefox wants to reset to default configuration, but You don't want to ===
Sometimes Firefox wants to be all nice and helpful but only gets to annoy you with some popups. This time the fox wants to reset your configuration to default values. You have three options in this case:
# Ignore the hell out of it
# Give in, follow up the request and reset that damn thing or
# Read this guide to get rid of the stupid popup!

You have chosen option 3? Great! Now listen closely. Here are the instructions:

*Close Firefox. You don't need it right now.
*You want to open a terminal with <code>Ctrl + Alt + T</code>
[[File:Screen_01.png|thumb|Screenshot 1]]
*Type:
cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Press <code>Enter</code> to enter the directory.
*Now type:
ls -la
*It should look like this screenshot 1.
*You should see the line with <code><RANDOM CHARS>. default</code> as marked in the screenshot.
*Now move to this folder with:
cd <RANDOM CHARS>. default/

[[File:Scree_02.png|thumb|Screenshot 2]]

* If you type <code>ls -la</code> now, your terminal should give this output (screenshot 2).
*You want to remove <code>.parentlock</code> with
rm .parentlock

 

Congrats! Firefox now should leave you alone. You did well! Grab some coffee and have a nice day.

FAQ

2015-05-13T09:29:12Z

Mom: /* Firefox helds that it hasn't been used for a long time */

= Frequently asked questions =

__FORCETOC__

=== I can not find the g77 Compiler ===

The g77 is a very old compiler and development has been stop before
years (around 2005). Support for recent Linux distributions has also been withdrawn. It has been replaced by gfortran.

If you are still using g77 you should test you code with 'gfortran' or
the Intel 'ifort'. Both are full Fortran 95 Compiler which can handle old Fortran 77 code in fixed format. The commercial
ifort should give you the best performance when using optimization. In general most code can be ported without bigger changes.
If you need assistance getting your code to work, contact us through trouble@th.physik.uni-frankfurt.de.

=== Can not login (trough X) or (Web)mail does not work ===

This often happens if your disk space is full and the requiered files can not be written. You can fix this with login in through a text console (Strg-Alt-F1) or ssh and deleting some files. If you constantly run in to low disk space, ask the administrator to increase the disk space. For temporary data the [[Storage and Backup|global scratch directories]] are recommended. Check your free disk space regularly with the command 'df'.

=== Webmail does not work ===

The correct function of the Webmail interface depends on two files in your public_html directory. These are '''public_html/cgi-bin/php''' and '''public_html/webmail.''' If one of this is missing you will get some error messages. To fix this problem do a ssh login or open a terminal from your desktop and execute the command '''webmail-enable'''. This should fix the problem.

=== I cannot see my quota ===

There is no quota system any more. You have your own volume on the nfs server. You can check this with 'df'. The free space in your home, is your personal free space.

=== Where is pine on the Ubuntu installations? ===

The short version: Pine development has stopped, the successor is now called alpine. They have to change the name because pine is a registered trademark and the associated license does not permit distribution of binary packages. If you want more information, have a look on their homepage [http://www.washington.edu/alpine/]

=== Firefox and Thunderbird complain about running elsewhere ===

This is not a bug, this is a feature. This prevents running Firefox and Thunderbird with the the same profile on different hosts. If your computer crashes or the power fails these programs are not closed cleanly, the lock files remain and prevents firefox/thunderbird from starting.

This can simply fixed by deleting the lock files. For security reason these programs use a random directory name for the profile.

The files are:

~/.mozilla/firefox/<RANDOM_CHARS>.default/.parentlock
~/.mozilla/firefox/<RANDOM_CHARS>.default/lock
~/.mozilla-thunderbird/<RANDOM_CHARS>.default/.parentlock
~/.mozilla-thunderbird/<RANDOM_CHARS>.default/lock

The RANDOM_CHARS subdirectory is easy to find, because unter normal circumstances there is only a single subdirectory.

Note: To read this instruction you can use a different browser installed on our system, e.g. konqueror or epiphany, even the text mode browser lynx works fine.

=== Toolbars, navigation, history or forms are not working in Firefox ===

This problem can occur after a crash. It can easily be solved by deleting two files:

~/.mozilla/firefox/<RANDOM_CHARS>.default/places.sqlite
~/.mozilla/firefox/<RANDOM_CHARS>.default/places.sqlite.journal

The database is reconstructed from the latest bookmarks backup. Detailed information can be found here:

[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox]

You may also encounter problems with forms and the search field. Then the following files are corrupted:

~/.mozilla/firefox/<RANDOM_CHARS>.default/formhistory.sqlite
~/.mozilla/firefox/<RANDOM_CHARS>.default/formhistory.dat

Please delete them. You will loose the history information but get a working browser.

=== [http://th.physik.uni-frankfurt.de/wiki-it/index.php?title=Firefox:_Annoying_reset_request Firefox helds that it hasn't been used for a long time] ===

Under certain cases firefox show a text in the bottom line that it hasn't been used for a long time and asks to reset your configuration. In most cases this is not true and you don't want to reset
your configuration. The problem is a stale lock file. Please read this [http://th.physik.uni-frankfurt.de/wiki-it/index.php?title=Firefox:_Annoying_reset_request/ guide] for further help.
