    Login details and basic setup

  •       Login details have been provided in the course.
          Once you have made the initial setup, you can
          run the command 'tutorial_update' at any time
          to update the course files.
        

    Graphics terminals

          If you are using a UNIX-derived system (Linux, MacOS),
          it is quite convenient (and sometimes necessary to avoid
          problems) to do the following:
          
          1. cd $HOME/.ssh 
          2. (Edit the file named 'config' with your favorite editor,
          to add the following stanza (with your number instead of 116 !):
    
          #-------------
          Host s116
          HostName nord1.bsc.es
          User nct01116
          Protocol 2
          ForwardX11 true
          ForwardX11Trusted true
          #-------------
    
          Afterwards you can just do:
    
          ssh s116
    
          to connect to your account, and to properly forward
          the graphics data.
        
  • Fix for OpenGL support in the Mac's X11 server

    	Some versions of the XQuartz programs in the Mac exhibit
    	an obscure bug that prevents the VESTA and XCrysden programs
    	to work when executed in the School's computers with a
    	remote display on the Mac.
    
    	The fix is to issue this command at the Mac's terminal:
    
    	defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 enable_iglx -bool true
