Starting the NexCAVE

• make sure you have door access
• check calendar for demos at http://reservations.calit2.net/BrowseForSpace.aspx
• turn on 3 power strips under center screens
• if already logged in, System -> Log off
• log in with user credentials provided (account: neuro)
• open a terminal
• run "gedit mycalvr.xml &"
• make sure the desired plugins are set to "on" in the .xml file (save if you make any changes)
• run "CalVR"

Leaving the NexCAVE

• turn off all the screens
• log out
• close both doors

Troubleshooting

• if a node hangs on a black screen after exiting CalVR, run tentakel killall -9 CalVR
• if a specific node dies, run ssh nexcave-X-X (numbers from the map on the wall) reboot
• if a node still dies, find Philip/Andrew/Joe/Jurgen to hard reboot the server in the server room
• When you start CalVR, if it starts asking for passwords, just keep hitting return until it dies. You should see a "Gnome Keyring has crashed" notification. Wait a minute, then start CalVR again.

Joystick

• If the joystick does not work, first make sure it is plugged in.

• If the joystick still does not work, run the following commands:

 cd /home/neuro/CalVR/applications/vrpn_libusb_general
 /home/neuro/CalVR/bin/libusb_general_server vrpn.xml &

• If it then complains about libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/XXX/XXX: Permission denied, run:

 sudo chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/XXX/XXX (or get someone with sudo privileges to run it for you)

then run:

 cd /home/neuro/CalVR/applications/vrpn_libusb_general
 /home/neuro/CalVR/bin/libusb_general_server vrpn.xml &

again.

• It will say "Init good." when it has initialized correctly.
