## Article 2. Statement of Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Linux is both a powerful, freely-available computer operating system and a fascinating sociological event with few parallels, the product of an international programmer community that exists independently of any national boundaries.

Linux is both a powerful, freely-available computer operating system and a

The LUG@UCLA's purpose is to facilitate learning, creativity, and the advancement of computer science. To accomplish this goal, LUG@UCLA promotes the use of the Linux operating system at UCLA by encouraging its use among students, faculty, staff, and University departments; by providing a support network for Linux users; and by building a library of Linux- related materials.

In attempting to promote the use of Linux, we also encourage programming under this operating system in the form of student-coordinated projects. LUG@UCLA student projects must benefit the UCLA community, the Linux community, or any subsets of the two. All software produced under the auspices of LUG@UCLA shall be distributed under the GNU General Public License, or the GNU Lesser General Public License, as appropriate.

title: Eduroam WiFi Guide
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
Connecting to the eduroam WiFi network (on the UCLA campus) is easy with Linux.
|
||||
eduroam is available almost everywhere on campus, so this is probably the most
|
||||
convenient WiFi network.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using NetworkManager
|
||||
|
||||
Connect to the *eduroam* network using the following Wireless Security settings:
|
||||
|
||||
| Security | WPA & WPA2 Enterprise |
|
||||
| -------------------- | --------------------- |
|
||||
| Authentication | Protected EAP (PEAP) |
|
||||
| PEAP version | Automatic |
|
||||
| Inner authentication | MSCHAPv2 |
|
||||
| Username | your UCLA username |
|
||||
| Password | your UCLA password |
|
||||
|
||||
For other networks (like UCLA_SECURE_RES), going to the following website: http://nmcheck.gnome.org/ should bring up the "Accept terms and conditions" page.

## Tips for selecting a distro
|
||||
If you are a beginner and you don't want to mess with the terminal that much,
|
||||
choose a Debian based one like Mint. Most of the Debian ones just work straight
|
||||
out of the box. There's also tons of support.

If you have some experience (or you're a beginner who is fine with using the terminal), you can try one of the Arch-based distributions. Installing Arch takes a while, but it's actually not too hard. If you're too lazy to install Arch, choose a distribution with a graphical installer (like EndeavourOS).

# Desktop Environment
|
||||
|
||||
The **desktop environment** (DE) is what makes up most of the user interface. It may include system panels, docks, window borders, backgrounds, and desktop widgets, among other things. GNU/Linux has a wide variety of DEs avaliable—this page will outline some of the most popular ones.

|
||||
|
||||
It is important to note that no DE is tied to a particular GNU/Linux distribution, or vice versa. Thus, if your distribution of choice is Debian, you may use GNOME, or KDE, or both GNOME and KDE (if you installed both). You can install as many different DEs as you want and try them all!

|
||||
|
||||
The three main desktop environments are XFCE, KDE, and GNOME.
|
||||
|
||||
**XFCE:**
|
||||
|
||||
XFCE is designed to be fast and minimalist
|
||||
|
||||
**GNOME:**
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME is simpler to use, and looks nicer. Of course, this comes at the cost of performance (the difference isn't that much though).
|
||||
|
||||
**KDE:**
|
||||
|
||||
KDE is in between GNOME and XFCE in terms of performance and features. If you are unsure, KDE is a good choice.
|
||||
* **XFCE:** XFCE is designed to be fast and minimalist

Sophisticated and flexible, LibreOffice also works transparently with a variety of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office. It primarily supports the Open Document Formats (ODF), such as .odt (documents), .ods (spreadsheets), and .odp (presentations). Here at the LUG, these are the formats we primarily use. Also, many European governments are adopting ODF as the official format for electronic documents. ODF and LibreOffice promotes total interoperability and information integrity.

### Audio Player - VLC, MPlayer, Clementine
|
||||
|
||||
VLC is famously known as the player that "plays everything." It can handle DVDs, (S)VCDs, Audio CDs, web streams, TV cards and much more. You don't need to keep track of a dozen codec packs you need to have installed. VLC has nearly all codecs built-in. It can even play the file or media if it is damaged!

|
||||
|

Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported output drivers. MPlayer supports displaying through a number of hardware MPEG decoder boards such as the DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+ . And what about nice, big anti-aliased shaded subtitles (9 supported types!!!) with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts, and OSD.

|

Eduroam is an international roaming service for students, based on WPA2
|
||||
Enterprise. Along with UCLA_WEB, it is a highly available network on campus.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connecting to eduroam
|
||||
[NetworkManager](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networkmanager) fully supports
|
||||
WPA2. The simplest way to connect is to use a graphical frontend for
|
||||
NetworkManager. A minimalist option is to install `nm-applet` and
|
||||
`nm-connection-editor` , then fill in the following settings:
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Value |
|
||||
| -------------------- | --------------------- |
|
||||
| Security | WPA & WPA2 Enterprise |
|
||||
| Authentication | Protected EAP (PEAP) |
|
||||
| PEAP version | Automatic |
|
||||
| Inner authentication | MSCHAPv2 |
|
||||
| Username | *USERNAME*@ucla.edu |
|
||||
| Password | your UCLA password |
|
||||
|
||||
Note that setting "Do not require CA certificate" can be a security risk. If
|
||||
an attacker is impersonating UCLA eduroam, then he can steal your UCLA
|
||||
credentials. For added security, follow the guide on [UCLA KB](https://ucla.service-now.com/support?id=kb_article&sys_id=KB0010959), and manually check the certificate:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Certificate Serial Number: 00 9F 1E 08 E5 C2 D9 F5 1D FC 52 66 9C 40 48 5D 90
|
||||
SHA-256 Fingerprint of the Key: D8 62 DB 03 27 45 D1 AC 2E 36 0F 47 CA 9F 98 87 8F 30 6D A1 A5 31 AD 16 67 01 87 99 45 0D A0 D4
|
||||
SHA1 Fingerprint of the Key: A3 11 21 86 DB 31 24 B2 56 0D 8F FB 86 47 C9 0A 8F 36 5D 78
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For more information, see [UCLA IT page](https://it.ucla.edu/support-training/tutorials/connecting-campus-wireless-network),
|
||||
and for a more advanced setup, see the [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#eduroam).
|
||||
|
||||
For other networks (like UCLA_SECURE_RES), going to the following website:
|
||||
http://nmcheck.gnome.org/ should bring up the "Accept terms and conditions"
|
||||
page.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connecting to UCLA VPN
|
||||
The UCLA VPN allows you to access campus resources as even when you are away from
|
||||
campus. This is useful for downloading scientific journals, for example.
|
||||
|
||||
Open `nm-connection-editor` or a NetworkManager frontend from your desktop
|
||||
environment, and add a Cisco AnyConnect VPN connection with the following
|
||||
settings:
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Value |
|
||||
| -------------------- | --------------------- |
|
||||
| VPN Protocol | Cisco AnyConnect or OpenConnect|
|
||||
| Gateway | ssl.vpn.ucla.edu |
|
||||
| User Agent | AnyConnect Linux_64 4.10.07061 |
|
||||
| CA certificate | None |
|
||||
|
||||
The same note about the security risk applies when you set CA certificate to
|
||||
none. After adding the VPN entry, launch `nm-applet`, connect to the VPN, and
|
||||
set the following
|
||||
```
|
||||
username: USERNAME
|
||||
password: YOUR_PASSWORD/DUO_OTP
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you should append to your password after typing it a forward slash and
|
||||
the two factor authentication code from your DUO OTP.

Set the gateway to **ssl.vpn.ucla.edu**. The username/password are the same as
|

your school login. Please note that you will need to have your phone ready to
|
||||
do the two-factor authentication.
