Issue: What is the best way to share large files with other universities?
Updates: |
|
> > |
- Feb 07: It is possible to have a symlink to NetApps space (imager). Glen will ask Mike if symlinks would work for other non-home dir space (var/tmp, /scratch).
- Feb 07: There is 230MB on FTP server (47MB free today, (help desk uses it for SuSE installs)). Too small to use for transferring files.

|
- Jan 31: Is it possible to create a symlink in your webpage space to files on the raid space?
- Jan 31: How much space is on the FTP server?

TSE
Date Opened: Oct 14, 2011
Impact: 1 = workaround identified
Contact Person: Cheryl
Issue: When using Power Point through TSE on a Linux machine, viewing the slide show is not possible and also causes the program to crash (unsaved work is lost). Allan mentioned that he could not view videos through tse.
Updates:
- Jan 31: Glen will post workaround instructions on imager technical information page and let help desk know about workaround.
- Nov 08: No update. Glen will be documenting the workaround.
- Oct 25: Not a print spooler issue since all TSE servers exhibit same problem. Probably a bug in TSE display drivers. Other users report similar issues. Workaround identified: first click the book-like icon next to the presentation icon, then click the presentation icon.
- Oct 18: The PowerPoint problem is not due to the print spool problem, and Glen will look into this.
- Oct 18: The tse server crashes often due to problems with the print spool. The tech staff knows about this problem and is working on it.

- Feb 07: Glen will ask if help desk will allow use of PyCloud to create cluster with PSM's machines. How will updates and patches work?
- Feb 07: What is the future of the cluster? What OS is it using? Can it support 12.1? Glen will ask Sean or Mike.
