Jove – CDE (Deglman 08.08.04)
Description
This is the computer used for handling the TO virtual desktop (Common
Desktop Environment). Along with the desktop itself, Jove currently runs Netscape. The hard drive
is physically located in the control room cabinet.
Procedures
Opening Desktop:
When logging onto Jove, use Common Desktop Environment
(CDE).
Log in as “guider”.
Enter password.
The following open
automatically:
Jove xterm’s – (monitors 0 and 1)
Console – (monitor 2)
xcpustate – (monitor 0 only) Shows the amount of
Jove CPU usage
xclock – (monitor 0 only) Shows the UT time and
date
Virtual Desktop – (all 4 monitors) has 4 panels by default
Right mouse click menu
options:
Titled “Workspace” this feature reads the file .openwindow, which tells it where to further look, for
tailored scripting to conveniently bring up needed programs. The bottom 6
entries of Program, Utilities, Properties…, Workstation Info…, Help…, and
Exit… are standard UNIX options.
Desktop layout:
For Ops Eng and especially for Night Ops, the following programs should be brought up and in the positions indicated:
Monitor/Panel Software
1 2 3 4
0 Smoke-PMC Sams-SAMS Jove-Netscape VNC-Dimm
1 Dome-DAS Alice-lrshgdr Alice-acqhgdr Fiber-hagdr
2 Mcs-IRAF Mars-MARS/HEFI Het-WX Baffle-PFIP
3 Tcs-TCS, tss, UX LX Y & Rho PMAC’s, Hexapod PMAC’s
Note: due to GUI display problems, monitor 3 (far right) is dedicated solely
to TCS.
Note: due to ximtool having 8-bit color, it must be brought up on monitor 1. Also, do not
open other color-thief programs, especially Super
Mongo on this monitor.
Bringing up Netscape:
Right click on root background – chose “Netscape
4.79”.
Some uses are weather, night reporting, problem
reporting, etc.

Opening VNC’S:
DIMM VNC
Frijole, Sandmann,
& Wave VNC’s
Being that these screens are now accessible via the KVM, they no longer need be brought up on the Jove Desktop. However, should you so choose, they are accessed in the same manner as the Dimm VNC.
Notes: Watch for color allocation
problems. To avoid this, open VNC’s after most other
windows.

Problems
If the color of a GUI (PMC, etc) on the desktop is
screwed up.
Opening a VNC, Super Mongo, and sometimes Netscape) first will interfere
with certain GUI's colors.
close
both that GUI and the culprit (VNC, sm, Netscape,
etc.)
reopen
the GUI first then the VNC.
note: sm causes problems w hgdr (ximtool 8-bit color) even
if opened later
