title: "E-Waste Meetup"
date: 2024-05-11
tags: [events, ewaste]
author: LUG Board
---
* Date: Thursday, May 16 2024
* Time: 18:15
* Location: Boelter 1st Floor entrance, by the dumpsters
## General Info
This will be a small meetup where the fourth-year students will pass on their knowledge of the best
spots on campus to find free e-waste.
You might get your hands dirty, since we are going to be dumpster diving, but you might also walk
away with some new hardware! Be ready to do some walking since the locations are fairly spread out.
Open to all who are interested.
## What to Expect
There are almost always free office-grade monitors and keyboards to be found. It's also fairly
common to see decade-old PCs with RAM and HDDs, provided that no one else scavenged them first.
Sometimes, valuable stuff gets thrown away like oscilloscopes, Macs from < 10 years ago, CRTs, NVMe
SSDs, and PCs from the 1980s (as featured at the [Spring Installfest](/events/installfest-s24)).
The more valuable stuff could require some repairs, but it's not too difficult for a seasoned EE
student. Actually, it might surprise you how much perfectly working stuff gets thrown out. Lots of
the hard drives from labs don't even get wiped, and we've found adult content on them before...
Your chances of finding something cool will go up the more regularly you check!

Free Pizza will be provided!!!
The Linux Users Group (LUG) at UCLA invites you to attend the quarterly Linux
Installfest! Please fill out the [RSVP form](https://forms.gle/cMpwizfU4MvudwdeA)
to indicate your pizza preferences.
* Date: 2024-10-11 (Friday of Week 2)
* Time: 6-9 PM
* Location: Engineering IV, Maxwell Room (57-124)
* RSVP: [link](https://forms.gle/cMpwizfU4MvudwdeA)
## General Info
LUG hosts a quarterly installfest on Friday of the 2nd week. We will start by
giving a presentation on Linux to get newcomers up to speed. Then, attendees
will be provided a USB drive and guided in dual booting their computers with
Linux (most likely Ubuntu, Debian, or Linux Mint). However, you are welcome to
bring your own flash drives and install any distro of your choice. Or if you
don't feel comfortable with the possibility of losing their data, you can set
up a Virtual Machine instead.
This time around, there will be a demo of a Linux install on a 2014 Mac Mini,
recently plucked from the e-waste.
The officers will also be doing a show-and-tell of their own hardware which
they have installed Linux on. Experienced users are also encouraged to show off
their own setups.
At the end, we'll have a SuperTuxKart LAN party with our freshly installed
Linux machines.
## Past Installfests
You can view pictures from past installfests [here](https://linux.ucla.edu/zenphoto/).
## Note on M1 and M2 Macs
Due to their custom Apple silicon, the only Linux distro which works on M1/M2/M3
Macs is the experimental Asahi Linux. You also have the option of setting up a
Virtual Machine to run Linux so feel free to come and chat with us!

## What does Linux look like?
@ -22,39 +21,12 @@ by the Gnome and KDE Project.
## How about software?
There is a very large selection of software for Linux. You can
[look here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications) for a start.
There is a large selection of software for Linux. For quick selection and
comparison, see the fossfor.us site.
According to the now-defunct freshmeat.net (a large index of software
for Linux and other Unices), there are over 23,000 projects in development.
Many of these programs are Open Source and/or free.
## Is it hard to make the switch?
One of the biggest concerns for prospective Linux users is whether they will
be able to use the same programs they did on Windows/macOS. People might have
to use particular software for their jobs, after all. Thankfully, this isn't
such a big problem anymore.
Nowadays, more and more software ships with native Linux support, including
[most](https://code.visualstudio.com/) [code](https://www.jetbrains.com/ides/)
[IDEs](https://eclipseide.org/), and even some multimedia programs like
[DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) and
[Synthesizer V](https://dreamtonics.com/synthesizerv/).
Even if this isn't the case for you, you still have options. Plenty of free
alternatives to popular proprietary software exist (e.g.
[GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) instead of Photoshop for image editing,
[Krita](https://krita.org/en/) instead of PaintTool SAI
for drawing, or [LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org/) instead of
Microsoft Office). These programs are often compatible with the same file
formats, too. Still, if you absolutely must use the same program that you ran
on your Windows system, [Wine](https://www.winehq.org/) can be used to run
.EXEs. [Proton](https://www.protondb.com/) works on top of Wine so you can even
play many of the same PC games.
Currently, Linux only holds about 4% market share amongst desktop PCs, but as
the open source software ecosystem continues to evolve, and users get fed up
with Microsoft and Apple's business practices, this number is sure to climb.
According to [freshmeat.net](https://freshmeat.net) (a large index of software
for Linux and other Unices), there are currently over 23,000 projects in
development. Many of these programs are Open Source and/or free.

title: RDP guide
date: 2024-05-24
author: David Z

Many classes require using the UCLA SEASNet Remote Desktop. For example 115C requires you
to use Cadence (yuck). Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol is proprietary, but there are
open source clients which can connect to it. Here are three ways of connecting which work well.
Please note that you need to be on the UCLA VPN.
## Using FreeRDP (Most reliable)
In order to use FreeRDP to connect, start by downloading the .rdp file from [here](https://rds.seaslab.seas.ucla.edu/RDWeb/Pages/en-US/Default.aspx)
Then run the following command in terminal:
```
xfreerdp <filename>.rdp /u:<username> /p:<password> /gd:rds.seaslab.seas.ucla.edu/RDWeb/Feed/webfeed.aspx /dynamic-resolution
```
Do not put `seaslab\` before your username, otherwise you will not be able to log in.
## Using Remmina (More user-friendly)
Remmina is a more user-friendly way of connecting. It has nice features (like being able to fullscreen or resize the window).
To use it, simply download the .rdp file and then enter in your username and password. Nothing else needs to be done.
Sometimes, the rdp file will not work. This may be because the server domain changed. In order to get the correct domain, you
can use the previous method. Look for the line which looks like this:
```
[02:39:22:381] [19509:19510] [WARN][com.freerdp.crypto] - CN = vmsrv07-rdsh01.seaslab.seas.ucla.edu
```
In this case, we can see that the server domain is `vmsrv07-rdsh01.seaslab.seas.ucla.edu`, which is different from the
domain listed in the RDP file (`VMSRV08-RDCB02.SEASLAB.SEAS.UCLA.EDU` in my case). To fix this, right click in Remmina on the
connection, select Edit, then replace the domain under "Server" in the Basic tab.
## Using SSH (Most direct way)
If you are using MobaXTerm, you might have noticed that Cadence actually lives on a RHEL server. You are basically
connecting to a Windows server, and then using an application on Windows (which implements SSH X forwarding) to connect back
to a Linux server. It's obvious that Windows is just a "middleman" and that you actually don't need it.
You can take the RHEL server's address straight from MobaXterm (for me, it's `eeapps02.seas.ucla.edu`). Then, type the
following command:
```
ssh -X -C <username>@eeapps02.seas.ucla.edu
```
And you're done!
