Start Cavepainting manually in the Cave

Cavepainting in the Cave involves coordination among a bunch of different machines. This article shows you HOWTO get everything running by issuing commands from the command line.

1. Turn on tracking (VRPN) on serial
   1. ssh cavedemo@serial
   2. cd /share/gfx/bin
      Note that you don't want to go to $G!
   3. ./vrpn_start.current
   4. Leave this program running and open up a new terminal to do the following steps.
2. Set up the displays on cs-nodes
   1. ssh -Y cs-nodes
   2. cd /vol/projects/cave-powerwall
   3. ./setup_cave.sh
   4. ./myframelock.sh
      Note that this script might whine. Give it a long time to throw up errors; it eventually shows. If it is taking especially long, ctrl-C it and try again. Not sure why this step is so nondeterministic.
   5. In the Nvidia config GUI program that pops up:
      1. Go to "Frame Lock" in the left-hand pane
      2. Make sure that cs-front has the "server" box checked and all others are "client"
      3. Hit the "Enable Frame Lock" button in the lower-right
      4. Once all the lights turn green, you can hit "Quit"
3. Run your personalized Cavepainting script on wallconsole
   1. ssh -Y cavedemo@wallconsole
   2. $G/bin/cave.cscluster.<some other junk that includes your username>
