Due to a maintenance-related configuration incorrectly remaining active, all LabraNet workstations entered shutdown several hours too early yesterday, 9.1. The problem has been rectified.

Our apologies for the disruption.

We have replaced OpenOffice with LibreOffice, and should now once again have a fully functional opensource alternative office suite.

As always, if you have issues with LabraNet software, please submit a ticket through our contact form.

The problem has been sorted, and authentication should once again be more or less always successful  assuming you didn’t forget your username or password.

Due to popular demand, we did not in fact delete current user accounts this summer, though we did clear your profiles due to technical reasons. If you find you’ve lost something you’d rather not have lost, get in touch with us. We will be able to recover lost files in the profile for at least a few weeks from this date.

If you are a returning student, your account will be re-enabled some time after you sign up for at least one class that takes place in a LabraNet classroom.

If you are a new student, your account will be created some time after you sign up for at least one class that takes place in a LabraNet classroom.

Going forward, we will disable accounts that are not signed up for LabraNet classes after the enrollment period for a given semester ends. If you’re working on your bachelor’s thesis or have some other such need for an account and you find you’ve been disabled, get in touch with us.

The internet connection is currently down. Our ISP (Funet) is fixing the problem.

Update: Internet connection works intermittently.

Update 2: Internet connection seems to work as normal.

File services have been restored. There will be a few more short file outages in the coming weeks, but nothing planned on a large scale.

Login times are currently degraded.

Printers are still out until further notice.

Update 8.8.2011: Also printers should be available again.

LabraNet printers are unavailable until further notice. More notifications to follow.

Thursday 14/07:
There will be short network drive outages during today and tomorrow, and starting at 14:00 on friday (15/07) all network drives will be down for at least several hours. This will effectively make LabraNet workstations unusable for the duration.

Starting around 09, there may be  some network outages as we work to restore normal network functionality within LabraNet.

Edit 09:12: And we’re back in business.

The internet connection is currently down. Our ISP (Funet) is fixing the problem.

Update 8.4.2011 13:25: The connectivity to internet is back online.

LabraNet student accounts will be purged during the summer break. Everything in your profiles, home-folder (also known as the Z: drive), or on the student server will  be gone. The accounts will first be disabled on June 23rd, and deleted some time after.

Anything left on LabraNet workstations will also disappear during the summer.

If there is some compelling reason why your account should be kept intact, get in touch with us.

New accounts will again be generated in the fall based on course enrollment.

Please also notice that \\ghost\Temp will be purged during the summer break.
