Scheduled downtime during week nine

Kari Nurmi — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:23:09 +0000

We will be conducting some rather fundamental maintenance during week nine, and as a consequence LabraNet services will be greatly impacted.

During monday 27.2, we will be starting with a gradual shutdown of less critical services, servers and virtual machines.

During the morning of tuesday 28.2, essentially all LabraNet services will be unoperational. We should reach a mostly functional level again in the afternoon.

During the rest of the week, we will be gradually restarting our less critical services, servers and virtual machines to reach normal operational status.

If you need something restarted sooner rather than later, get in touch with us and we’ll prioritize accordingly.

Internet connection down

We currently have no internet access. The cause is unknown at this time, but troubleshooting is underway.

Edit 08:01: And we’re back up.

Unscheduled scheduled shutdown

Kari Nurmi — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:12:39 +0000

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.

LIBRE

Kari Nurmi — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 07:03:33 +0000

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.

Student server intermittent authentication failures

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.

LabraNet account policy

Kari Nurmi — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 08:25:32 +0000

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.

Service outages part II

Kari Nurmi — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:46:43 +0000

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.

Printers are still out until further notice.

Update 8.8.2011: Also printers should be available again.
