Go back to the VisLab machines configuration page.

Operating system installation

Operations after first boot

  • choose Main server (rather than Portugal server, which is not always reliable) as the software repository:
    • on desktop machines, System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager -> Settings -> Repositories -> Download from: Main server
    • on server machines, remove all the "pt." strings from /etc/apt/sources.list with the following command: sudo sed -i 's/pt.//g' sources.list

Other operations

Environment variables

  • Create a file called ~/.bash_env (used by both interactive and non-interactive sessions, such as commands launched via yarprun from another machine) like this one:
 export YARP_ROOT=/home/icub/yarp2
 export YARP_DIR=$YARP_ROOT/build
 export ICUB_ROOT=/home/icub/iCub
 export ICUB_DIR=$ICUB_ROOT/main/build
 export PATH=$PATH:$YARP_DIR/bin:$ICUB_DIR/bin
 export ICUB_ROBOTNAME=iCubLisboa01 # only for machines that connect to the real robot
 export IPOPT_DIR=/home/icub/Ipopt-3.10.0 # only for servers (IK solver)
 source $YARP_ROOT/scripts/yarp_completion  
  • Then, before the following line of /etc/bash.bashrc
  [ -z "$PS1" ] && return

add this:

  # per-user environment variables (non-interactive and interactive mode)
  source $HOME/.bash_env

Subversion (older versions)

For security, uncomment (thus enabling) the following parameter in /etc/subversion/config:

 store-passwords = no

This implies that SVN will ask you for your password every time you do a commit, as opposed to storing it in plain text on the system. (Don't worry about changing your personal ~/.subversion/config file: the parameter is not actually set there, so the global /etc setting is used.)
