Linux Remote Login Service
When I log into a Linux CLSE computer, I either cannot run software (e.g. command not found), or am automatically logged out. How can I fix this?

There are a few issues that can cause this behavior:
If there is a problem with your Linux dotfiles (i.e. environment configuration files), your session may not be able to start properly. You can reset them by logging into a
CAEN login server
using
SSH
, and typing the following command:
/usr/caen/bin/redot
This will rename your current dotfiles to
.
dotfile
.old
, and copy the CAEN standard dotfiles into your home directory. Once the command completes, log out and log back in again.
You can also by
logging into a CAEN Windows computer
.
The next time you log into a Linux computer, your environment will use the CAEN default settings, as if you were logging into a Linux computer for the first time.
When you are over the quota for your
CAEN Home Directory
, Linux cannot write necessary session information, which can prevent you from logging in. You should
check your quota
, and clear out some space in order to continue.
Note:
For long-term storage, CAEN recommends moving larger files to
U-M cloud storage services via Kumo
in order to free up space.
Specifically for problems running software in Linux: Many applications are restricted based on an individual's role at the College. Refer to our online
Software Restrictions for Linux Users page
for more information.
