PACC: Week 2-3

During the past two weeks I was sick most of the time. I attended only on Monday in week 2 and on Thursday-Friday in week 3.

The following is what I did during those three days:

Installed and used VNC on two computers in the lab.

Tried out using Epoptes instead of Italc. Epoptes showed itself to work well, however it doesn't have some features that Italc does. That is letting a student to show demo. However. Epoptes also have a thing that Italc does not; and that is freely using a terminal without any additional commands.

I also set WOL (wake-on-lan) to work using Epoptes. I firstly changed BIOS settings so that remote wake was enabled. Then I used and changed some of the ethtool settings and used powerwake to test WOL. Later, I found out that when using Epoptes, WOL only needs the changes in BIOS in order to work. So now, every presented function of Epoptes works well, including WOL, reboot, shutdown and others.

Now, I am planning to try setting up Italc 2 (the one that prof. Norbisrath recently compiled).
