This is a procedure with one step. Most work will be to fulfill all Pelle usage prerequisites.
1. Go to https://pelle-gui.uppmax.uu.se¶
In a webbrowser, go to https://pelle-gui.uppmax.uu.se.
How does that look like?
2. Fill in your name and password¶
At https://pelle-gui.uppmax.uu.se fill in your details:
- In the first field, fill in your UPPMAX username, e.g.
sven - In the second field, fill in your UPPMAX password
- Press "Log in" button
How does that look like?
3. Fill in your time-based one-time password¶
The next dialog of https://pelle-gui.uppmax.uu.se asks for a time-based one-time password (TOTP)
- Fill in the TOTP from your UPPMAX 2FA,
e.g.
123456.
How does that look like?
4. (sometimes) pick a profile¶
Sometimes the ThinLinc profile chooser pops up.
At the first dialog, click 'Forward'.
How does that look like?
At the second dialog, pick your favorite desktop environment. Both are equally fine.
How does that look like?
5. Welcome on Pelle's login node¶
Welcome on a Pelle login node!
How does that look like?
How to behave on a login node
On a login node, one can and should do simple things only: it is a resource shared with all other users on that node.
If you need to do more intense calculations, use the Slurm job scheduler.
If you need to do more intense calculations interactively, use an interactive session.
For tips on how to work with this environment, see the UPPMAX ThinLinc page (as that software is used to do the heavy lifting for that website).
