Welcome to the NCMM Scientific Computing IT web pages.

NCMM Scientific Computing IT

Information for New Users

The following items are readily available on the laptops provisioned by IT @ NCMM:

  • Email
  • Wi-Fi
  • Printing

You can set these up by just entering your username and password.

When you set up the Eduroam Wi-Fi, the username should include @uio.no. Eduroam on your smart phone can be setup with the aid of the app geteduroam.

You can print to NCMM printers from your computer or smart phone. On your smart phone, please use EveryonePrint (or SAFEQ Cloud) to print to an NCMM printer. To access an NCMM printer, use your Forksningsparken / NCMM access card. You can also use [mobilprint.uio.no https://mobilprint.uio.no] for printing. You can also manage your printing queues at utskrift.uio.no.

General services

  • Connect to view.uio.no via VMWare Horizon or browser for access to some UiO virtual machines.
  • utskrift.uio.no for printing management.
  • mobilprint.uio.no for mobile printing management.
  • mail.uio.no for e-mail via webrowser.

Linux

Windows

Installing Linux from UiO on Dell Laptops

The BIOS must be configured in a specific way to PXE boot Linux from UiO.

Accessing file shares from remote

When accessing file shares via CIFS/SMB from outside of NCMM, we recommend tunneling the connection through SSH. For example, for biotin2:

  • ssh -L 10139:localhost:139 USERNAME@biotin2.hpc.uio.no
  • connect to smb://localhost:10139 (for example, in macOS via "Connect to Server"), enter your login and password and select the correct network share

Instead of port 10139 you can use any other port in the range of 1024-65535.

Software

Adobe Cloud

Problem: User does not have access to the Apps tab of the Adobe Cloud panel app.

Solution:

Windows

Exit the Creative Cloud application.

Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\Configs.

Move the ServiceConfig file to the desktop and confirm Administrator privileges if prompted.

Right-click the file and open with Notepad.

Change the following value:

<name>AppsPanel</name><visible>false</visible>

to

<name>AppsPanel</name><visible>true</visible>

Save and close the file

Move the file back to the folder it was in (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\Configs) and confirm Administrator privileges if prompted.

Restart the computer (not sure if this is needed - logging out and in of the Adobe app might be enough).

Apps panel should now be available.

macOS

Exit the Creative Cloud application.

Open Finder, click Go in the menubar, and then Go to Folder...

Type /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/Configs

Copy the ServiceConfig file to the desktop.

Right-click the file and open with TextEdit.

Change the following value:

<name>AppsPanel</name><visible>false</visible>

to

<name>AppsPanel</name><visible>true</visible>

Save and close the file.

Move the file back to the folder it was in (/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/Configs) and Authenticate with your password if prompted.

Log out of the Adobe panel app, and log back in.

Apps panel should now be available.
