CISE Workstations

The following topics cover some of the issues that come up relatively frequently running Ubuntu at CISE.

Maple

If xmaple isnt displaying properly on a machine with 3d effects enabled:

for bash: export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit 
 -- OR --
for tcsh: setenv AWT_TOOLKIT MToolkit

Opening RealPlayer Files

RealPlayer files do not automatcially open when clicked on.
Open realplayer, click open location and paste in the url.

Determining if a package is installed

The easiest way to check if a package is installed is to use locate. For example: 

locate matlab

If you still don't find the software you need for your class, please have your instructor contact the systems staff.
