| - | FAQ | + | Here are a variety of questions which students (both new and old!) may have about working at the lab. |
| + | |||
| + | Be sure to consult the [[resources:resources|Administrative Resources]] page for administrative and department level questions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====== FAQ ====== | ||
| + | How do I access my lab email on my phone? | ||
| + | * {{resources:FRIB_mobile_email.docx|Here}} is a lab sponsored guide for both iPhone and Android using the Outlook app. | ||
| + | * Kirby has also had success on the Android Gmail/Google Calendar apps though this is not described here. | ||
| + | How can I configure passwordless login to the gateway and other NSCL/FRIB computers (fishtank, fireside, jinacalc, etc.)? | ||
| + | * As with most Linux questions, once you know what to search, Google is your answer. [[https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-setup-passwordless-ssh-login/|Here]] is a sample step-by-step guide. | ||
| + | I walk away from my desk for five minutes and my ssh session times out, can I stop this? | ||
| + | * Yes! There is a parameter called ServerAliveInterval which will keep sessions alive. A guide is [[https://patrickmn.com/aside/how-to-keep-alive-ssh-sessions/|here]]. | ||
| + | How do I access journal articles from home? | ||
| + | * There are a variety of possibilities, from connecting to campus via a VPN or other remote connection (I once used wget to download an article directly to fishtank which I could then scp back to my computer!). | ||
| + | * MSU libraries details some instructions [[https://lib.msu.edu/rds/offcampus-access/|here]]. | ||
| + | * By far the easiest method I've found is to create a proxy server bookmarklet à la [[https://www.lib.purdue.edu/help/bookmarklet|this Purdue guide]].\ | ||
| + | * You then simply replace the Purdue href with the MSU one: "http://proxy1.cl.msu.edu/login?url=%22+location.href" | ||
| + | * Your final bookmarklet should look like this: javascript:void(location.href="http://proxy1.cl.msu.edu/login?url=%22+location.href) | ||
| + | * Now whenever you need to are up against a journal's paywall you merely need to click this bookmark, login to your MSU account, and voilà! | ||
