>This is also usefull at the I-MATH Terminals, if the screen size fits not perfectly to the monitor (deactive and then activate the fullscreen mode again). || || [[#Keyboard_Layout|Keyboard Layout]] || The keyboard will be automatically detected during log in. If you need special characters, the easiest way is to use the 'Compose Key' || * 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'''. = 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''' {{attachment:tlclient.png}} * 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. = Get a new and fresh session = Sometimes it happens that your session is locked for some reason (crashed apps, quota problem, ...). A session disconnect / reconnect doesn't improve the situation. Please check the option '''End existing session''' in the `tlclient` login window and log in again. Your old session will be killed and a new session will be created. All open applications will be terminated. Open files might be lost. Use is with caution! {{attachment:tl.end.existing.session.png}} * This option is not available via Webaccess. = USB sticks: Terminals in building Y27 = * If you plug in a USB Stick at the terminal, there is '''no window''', which opens automatically. * Plugged in USB sticks or ext. Harddrives 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''' disappear, plus some additional 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'''. = Remote Access: thinlinc@home = == By webbrowser == * https://tl.math.uzh.ch * No sound. * No local drives * For touch based devices (Tablets), you'll find a software keyboard on the top of the window, == By native client == * Install the native Client (Linux, Windows, Mac): [[http://www.cendio.com/downloads/clients/|Download]] * At the moment, there is no native Android, Windows Phone or iOS support. Use the webclient instead. * Start the native client and connect to: {{{ 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' {{attachment:hostkey.png}} * '''Disconnect''' / toggle '''Full screen''': Pressing 'F8' opens a menu, with options for: * '''Disconnect'''. * changing '''Full Screen'''. * Best practice: it's not necessary to logout, just disconnect. == Printing at home == * Choose Thinlocal as Printer * It automatically uses your default printer configured on your PC/Laptop at home {{attachment:printthinlocal.jpg}} == Copy files from/to the Thinlinc Session == * This is is very similar as with the USB sticks above. * Add a mapping of local directories to the '''~/thindrives''' directory inside the thinlinc session. * Do the mapping, before you connect to the session: 1. Open the 'Thinlinc Client' and choose '''Options > Local Devices > Drives: Details''' 2. Add a new directory and set '''permissions'''. 3. If there are '''troubles''' with a mapped directory: choose inside the thinlinc session the menu '''Applications > System Tools > Clean USB Stick umount/mount'''. {{attachment:thinlinc.options.local.drives.png}} {{attachment:thinlinc.export.local.png}} {{attachment:thinlinc.select.png}} = Dropbox = You can also use dropbox or switchdrive to copy data to the thinlinc session. * [[https://wiki.math.uzh.ch/public/dropbox|Dropbox]] = Keyboard Layout = * If you like to use a keyboard with a different layout than already installed in your office, please contact [[http://math.uzh.ch/support|Support]]. * '''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]]. * with new NUC Build (new login Screen) the compose Key is mayh not working please see here to enable the compose Key function - please check [[enableComposeKey]]. * '''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'. * Website to convert keystokes to specific languages: http://www.typeit.org/ = Skype = * Voice, chat and screen sharing are supported. * Webcams are not supported. * You can borrow a headset from [[http://math.uzh.ch/support|Support]]. = Audio = * For using 'headphones', please check if there is a 3.5mm jack at your monitor (varies with the models). * If you do not find a connector, you can get a USB/Audio converter form [[http://math.uzh.ch/support|Support]]. Plug the converter in the terminal.
