Accessing the same session locally (at the institute) and remotely (for example at home) - no hassle anymore with locked Firefox profiles.
IT Support: on your request, it's possible to 'shadow' your session to the IT group - in case of any trouble - just call the IT by phone.
Usage
Connect Session
- Use any of the Terminals at the institute or use the 'native client' (see below) application on your own computer (Internet access is needed).
- Just login.
- An already existing session (in the background or on another terminal) will be moved and reconnect you.
Server: tl.math.uzh.ch
Check the screen size" by default the Session is fullscreen. To change this, open the 'popup menu' by pressing F8 and change Full screen.
Disconnect Session
Press F8 to open 'popup menu' and choose disconnect.
If you need the 'F8 key' in an application, assign another key for the popup menu. To do so: F8 > Options > Options > Popup Menu Key. The new setting is only active during the recent connected session.
USB sticks: Terminals in building Y27
If you plug in a USB Stick at the terminla, there is no window, which opens automatically.
Plugged in USB sticks, ext. Harddrives and CDROM will appear in your home-directory under the folder thindrives. Open a Filemanager (Menu: Places) and navigate to your 'home directory > thindrives'.
- Mount and unmount happens automatically - wait a few seconds.
If you copy data, wait until the light on the USB stick stops flashing or the progress bar diasapepaer, plus additional 10 seconds. After that, it's secure to remove the stick.
If the stick does not appear under directory '~/thindrives', please trigger a remount via menu Applications > System Tools > Clean USB Stick umount/mount.
Copy files from/to the Thinlinc Session
- This is is very similar as with the USB sticks above.
- Assumption: you're using a private computer - this computer is called the 'local computer'.
If you plug in a USB stick at the local computer, the directory of the USB stick is automatically mapped to the ~/thindrives directory inside the thinlinc session.
- You're free to map additonal directories, of the local computer, to your thinlinc session.
Open the 'Thinlinc Client' and choose Options > Local Devices > Drives: Details
- Add a new directory and set 'permissions'
Burning CDs & DVDs
- Not possible with the terminal.
Local: Terminals at the institute
- Login with your regular I-MATH account.
Remote: using the native client (Linux, Windows, Mac) from outside the institute - thinlinc@home
Native Client
- Install the native Client (Linux, Windows, Mac):
- At the moment, there is no Android or iOS Support.
Start the native client tlclient (it's a standalone application, it's not a browser version)
Servername:
tl.math.uzh.ch
- Be aware, the second character of the servername is a lowercase 'L'!
- Username / Password: as your I-MATH Account.
- It's possible that you have to accept the hostkey: press 'Continue'
- Pressing 'F8' opens a menu, with options for:
Disconnect.
changing Full Screen.
- Never logout, just disconnect.
Screen Size
After starting the tlclient choose under Options > Screen your desired screen size.
Local printing
- Not configured at the moment.
Access local files - exporting local directories to the thinlinc session
- Before connecting to to thinlinc session, configure the directories to be connected between the local computer and the thinlinc session:
'tlclient' > Options > Local Devices >
- Drives: checked
Drives - Details >
- Add
Exported Path: <the path of your local directory>
- Permission: Read Only or Read Write (as you wish).
- After any change, best is to close 'tlcient' and start it again. 'tlclient' always saves your last settings.
You'll find the local exported filesystem inside your thinlinc session under ~/thindrives.
Keyboard Layout
- If you like to use a keyboard with a different layout than already installed in your office, please contact our IT support team.
Automatic layout detection: While using the terminals at the institute, the keyboard layout should be detected automatically, regarding the connected keyboard type.
An efficient and fast solution, to type characters, which are not directly accessible on the keyboard, is by using the 'compose key' - please check ComposeKey.
Manual selected keyboard layout:
- This setting is only valid until session disconnects.
- It's boring to change the keyboard layout every time you connect your session - unfortunately, there's no solution at the moment to make the 'manual selected keyboard layout' permanent.
Before log in: on the left-bottom-corner of the login screen, you are free to choose another keyboard layout.
After log in: If you want to change the keyboard layout on the fly (session is active):
- Press 'F8'
- Disable 'Fullscreen'
- Then you'll see the icon of the 'keyboard layout switcher' in the lower left corner of the screen: click on it to open the 'keyboard layout switcher'
- Select your favorite layout.
- If you like, activate 'fullscreen' again by pressing 'F8' again and active 'Fullscreen'.
- This setting is only valid until session disconnects.
