Distribution Setup

We support Red Hat compatible Linux distributions (CentOS, Fedora), but you need to maintain some security configuration and packages. Each distribution has its own problems, check the issues before deciding what distribution to install. The distributions should:

  • Compile and run SESC and SESCTherm (with CUDA support)


  • Run synos rake command
 svn co svn+ssh://mada0.cse.ucsc.edu/mada/server/svn/synos
 cd synos/scoore/fpu
 rake
  • Execute vcs
 cd synos/scoore/fpu
 rake test:softfloat_tb
  • Execute synplicity_pro
 cd synos/scoore/fpu
 rake fpga:fpu v=1
 ./synplify_fpu.sh
  • Execute dc_shell-t 
 cd synos/scoore/fpu
 rake asic:fpu v=1
 ./dc_fpu.sh
  • Run opencv applications (cd mthd/mgesture)
  • Run gosu examples (cd mthd/hdui)

Ubuntu 10.04

Preferred

Installation instructions at: Desktop Setup - Ubuntu 10.04

Configure LDAP caching

sudo apt-get install nss-updatedb
# Use your own username 
sudo scp username@mada0.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/cron.hourly/* /etc/cron.hourly/


  • update database cache
sudo /etc/cron.hourly/nss_updatedb-ldap.sh
  • edit lines passwd and group in /etc/nsswitch.conf so that they are as follows (involves adding db before ldap)
sudo vi /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd:         files db ldap
group:          files db ldap

CentOS 5.4

WORKS

sesc,sesctherm, synos, vcs, synplify_pro, dc_shell, opencv

FAILS

* gosu (gem rmagic and ruby-opengl package fail to install)
* sshfs (userspace ssh filesystem mount utility)
* Most modern linux kde related apps

Installation

Install the 64bit packages selecting development and latex packages.

Fedora

WORKS

Fedora 10 x64 NOTE: most software is 64 bit, so make sure the x64 arch type is installed

    • Synplify Pro 9.62 is 32-bit. It needs:

a compatible libstdc++, tcl, qt To diagnose dependency problems: ldd /mada/software/synopsys/fpga_c200906/linux/mbin/synplify install by: 

   sudo yum install -y compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.i386 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.x86_64
   sudo yum install -y qt-4.4.3-15.fc10.i386 qt-x11-4.4.3-15.fc10.i386 tcl.i386 tcl.x86_64 nss_ldap-264-1.fc10.i386

Fedora 11: 

   sudo yum install -y compat-libstdc++-33.i586 compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64 freetype-2.3.9-3.fc11.i586
   sudo yum install -y qt.i586 qt-x11.i586 fontconfig-2.7.1-1.fc11.i586 tcl.i586

Need this file, but problematic glib2-2.20.4-1.fc11.i586

DONE

    • VCS 2008-09 needs:

a compatible libstdc++ libtermcap

install by: 

   sudo yum install -y compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.i386 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-64.x86_64 libXt.i386

  # copy /lib64/libtermcap.so.2* from any mascd machine into your /lib64
  # then rebuild linker database:
  sudo ldconfig

  Note:  If using NFS mounted user directory, make sure to wipe out ./csrc directory (under which you invoke VCS) 
         you so that VCS rebuilds the design with the new GCC, otherwise it will not work.  This may
         become necessary if switching from Fedora to CentOS machines frequently.

DONE

  • LDAP setup (NEED Root of mascd2 or working FC machine)
  sudo yum install -y openldap-clients

  • Setup automount
  yum install -y autofs

  • Setup IP tables
Note: The iptables config file is only readable by root.  

# If you have root access a mascd machine:

   Launch NX: 
    /usr/NX/bin/nxclient

   Import the client key after copying it to your desktop
    sudo cp /etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.key ~/Desktop
    configure Key -> import -> Desktop/client.id_dsa.key

 Note: If the client displays the host's screen for 1 sec and quits, select gnome as the window manager in nxclient instead of kde.
  1. nxclient - Windows
   Install noMachine's nxClient
    http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=1411

    ssh into host machine:

    copy the contents of that file COMPLETELY, from --BEGIN to --END
    create a new file using textpad named client.id_dsa.key.txt
    paste contents into file.
    NxClient -> configure Key -> import -> Desktop/client.id_dsa.key.txt

 Note: If the client displays the host's screen for 1 sec and quits, select gnome as the window manager in nxclient instead of kde.

KDE Unique settings on each Desktop / Server

  • We are going to create as many kde directories (settings only) as we want.
 If we have mascd1, mascd7, mada1  we want to have 3 unique kde directories
 
 Copy your original .kde directory into the new 'unique' ones
   cp -fR ~/.kde ~/.kde_mascd1
   cp -fR ~/.kde ~/.kde_mascd7
   cp -fR ~/.kde ~/.kde_mada1
  • Now that we have all the directories, add this to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file
export hostn=`hostname |cut -f1 -d"."`
# If session is not NX, then normal kdehome for that client.
#  otherwise, use the nx desktop kde directory
if [ -z "$NXSESSIONID" ]
then
       export KDEHOME=~/.kde_$hostn
else
  export KDEHOME=~/.kde_`hostname |cut -f1 -d"."`nx
fi
#check if kde home directory exists, otherwise, set to default
if [ -f $KDEHOME ]
then
       export KDEHOME=~/.kde
fi


This script mainly works for use with NX sessions, it does not currently address being physically on multiple machines at once using KDE.

qconf -sh
  1. Otherwise add it to the list
qconf -ah ????
  1. ssh to client (as root)
source /mada/software/setup.sh
cd /mada/users/sge
