Message-ID: <20160801221832.-BqZ0Idjg%predragp@cs.cmu.edu>

Dear Autonians,

I just attempted installing Intel Math Kernel Library on GPU2. Please
check 

/opt/intel

I think I also got the other 4 packages but I am not sure. 

https://software.intel.com/qualify-for-free-software/academicresearcher

I am trying to figure out how can we get CMU to pay for Intel
Proprietary compiler

https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-parallel-studio-xe

Please let me know if this is something that people are interested in as
the process of getting these things is highly non-trivial.

Best,
Predrag

Dear Autonians,

It is always a sweet feeling when your work is being noticed by others.

But the sweetness is doubled when your highly respected colleagues,
whom some may recognize as your competitors, do that in a reputable
public venue, while not having their arm twisted, and on top of all that
they mention your work in a positive way.

Way to go Karen and Team!

Artur

Subject: Gogs URL updated
Message-ID: <92a035060200c90d95a8531fe4535f82.squirrel@webmail.andrew.cmu.edu>

Dear all,

There have been some changes to the Gogs git repository server to make it
more easily and consistently accessible both inside and outside the lab. 
It is now accessible at http://git.int.autonlab.org/ via web interface,
SSH and HTTPS.  All locations use the same URL, as opposed to before where
there were three different URL's depending on what you wanted to do.  If
necessary, please update your git repository locations if necessary using
the following commands:

If your project is "sheath/my-repo" and is in the directory
"~/projects/my-repo":

cd ~/projects/my-repo
git remote set-url origin
ssh://git at git.int.autonlab.org:2222/sheath/my-repo.git

This will make "git push" and "git pull" commands aim at the right URL.

Let me know if you have any questions or problems!

Regards,
Simon

The previous message was little inaccurate. What Simon meant by inside
and outside the lab was that behavior is consistent across computing
nodes (inside the lab) and desktops (outside the lab). True external
access from your home computers/laptops is possible using ssh proxy. Man
ssh and search for keyword ProxyCommand or please wait few days until we
complete Wiki pages. This is the good moment to mention that we will
move entire Auton Lab website in the near future to DokuWiki. This is
the future home of Auton Lab web/Intranet.

http://dev.autonlab.org/

The second inaccuracy in the original message was probably obvious to
frequent users of Auton Lab Gogs, the web interface for Git. Namely we
didn't enable HTTPS protocol (SSL encryption). We have no plan to do
that because the Gogs/Git are behind the firewall and accessible from
outside the lab only via SSH which is the stronger form of encryption
than SSL.

Now we do plan to move http://dev.autonlab.org one we consider it fully
production ready to HTTPS protocol so that any access to Auton Lab web
content is protected by encryption and fully authenticated by the third
party server. 

Best,
Predrag

P.S. CVS and SVN (svnhub) will remain in the use until we feel good with
migration of old repos to Git. We have no plain to maintain any other
version control systems except Git.

Guys printing is broken on Auton Lab desktops and I am working on fixing
things. I had no information that facilities were planing to change the
printers. I just saw the guys who changed the printer were we using and
asked them why I am not informed and more importantly where are the
configuration files (info I need to set up the printer). Sorry to say
that but they are clueless and had no idea what I was talking about. I
have to hunt down tomorrow the person who set up the printer server for
the school of computer science to get info I need to make printers work
with our desktops.

Best,
Predrag

Quick update on the status of printing. 

1. I hunted down the person who set the printer server and got info I
needed.

2. HP socket printing is disabled so they are forcing us to use their
printer server monolith.scs.ad.cs.cmu.edu

3. monolith is not set for anything else except Windows so the guy
enabled LPD server so that we can print.

4. I configured printer on my machine and sent jobs "successfully"
without errors in my log files. However I was not able to print.

5. I hunted down the guy again. After looking quickly over server
configuration I fixed few configuration mistakes. However mckinley is
still listed as offline. Even the guy could not send his test job to
mckinley.

Summary: Printing is broke and you will not be able to print until
facilities fix their server.

Alternative solution: If they don't fix the problem in 1-2 days I will
just get an old printer for my office and make my desktop printer server
for our Lab.

I can print now which means that you guys will be able to print as soon
as I propagate my configuration file (give or take 5-10 minutes).
