So, Cavepainting's acting up? You have a couple options.
Call for Help
If you can't fix the problem on your own, try asking someone else. If you're in CSCI1370, you can:
- email the professors and TA for general questions about assignments.
- email just the TA for technical questions.
- call Jadrian at (919) 593-8094 for emergency help.
If you're just a regular user or you're a CSCI1370 student who wants to work directly with the Cave administrators, you can:
- email the CCV helpdesk.
- call John Huffman, the CCV Cave guru, directly. His phone number is written on the whiteboard in the Cave.
Solve It Yourself
Some tutorials exist to help you fix problems yourself. What's going on?
- I'd like to start Cavepainting manually in the Cave
- I'd like to add a new button to the Cave kiosk
Things to Keep in Mind
- The definition of
$Gis different on different machines, and may refer to very different directories on different servers. Note especially that the CCV$G, which is what wallconsole and serial see, has different contents than the CS$G, which cs-nodes sees. This shouldn't be the case, of course, but$G's far from perfect.
