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
  • 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
