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.
Our migrating from F-Secure to windows firewall broke automagic active ftp, and it’s likely to remain out of order for the foreseeable future. We’ve specifically excepted the WinSCP installed on our workstations to allow active FTP to work with it. Passive ftp continues to work regardless.
Note that WinSCP defaults to passive mode. To go active you need to change the file protocol on the login screen to FTP, tick ‘Advanced options’, and change it under the ‘Connection’ node.

Due to a script malfunction, the mysql instruction files on student got overwritten with new versions. As such, they contain an invalid password. If you need to use your mysql database and don’t know the password, get in touch with us and we can reset the password for you.
We will be fixing this programmatically for currently empty databases.
EDIT: 03/12/10: Credentials have been regenerated for empty databases and correct mysql_instructions files have been generated. If you don’t have a mysql_instructions file and can’t access your database, you will still need to get in touch with us.
The problem that was with connecting from JAMK’s WLAN to LabraNet’s VPN service have been fixed. According to our comprehensive tests the problem is history.
However if you still have problems connecting to LabraNet’s VPN from JAMK’s WLAN, please contact us so we can further investigate.
Due to some issues with our virtualized firefox, we will be moving back to a local install on all workstations. Starting this wednesday (10.11), LabraNet computers will have both the virtualized and non-virtualized versions present. The virtualized firefox will be expired at the end of next week (19.11), leaving you a bit over a week to migrate your bookmarks and such over to the local version.
The locally installed version will be accessible from the desktop and from all programs\mozilla firefox (local)
The virtualized version will be accessible from all programs\mozilla firefox
During the maintenance performed during week 42, a part of the profile data of certain users became displaced. No data has been lost, and if you want your profile reverted please log out of any computers you might be logged into and come see us at room D325.
Please note that it is advisable to store data on the Z: drive rather than in the profile itself, as large profiles result in slower login times.
