Hi, As per the schedule (https cits3007.github.io schedule ), there are no labs this week. The schedule does not, in fact, say anything about labsheets unless I'm missing something? It says "no labs". If you have queries relating to the project...

Hi, I wanted to ask if the labs are not on this week. The schedule says there's no labsheet for this week, but the project is still going on. I was just asking because there's no facilitator present in the lab

Hi, For students in today's 9am lab unfortunately the usual lab facilitator was not available, and I didn't realize this until it was too late to arrange for someone else to facilitate my apologies. I've scheduled a replacement session for 2-3 30p...

Thank you so much for the detailed reply

Hi, Short answer the default shell in your VM was deleted by a command you typed; the best thing to do is throw away your current VM instance, and start a new one. Longer answer The reason you're seeing those errors is due to a failed, prior command t...

Also tried downloading dash but it says its already installed before showing the same error again. This is on the correct Vagrant file as well.

Hi everyone ) I'm currently having some issues while attempting Lab 5. Every time I try to install zsh, I encounter a whole lot of errors which I have attached as an image below. Then when I attempt to switch from dash to zsh and run 'sh --version', ...

Hi all, Just a reminder that if for some reason you're regularly unable to attend a lab session, you should email me and let me know. Keeping up with the lab content is an important part of the unit, and (especially for the project) it's a good idea to...

Hi all, As mentioned in today's lecture, the 8am Thursday lab sessions have had very low turnout (only one person last week), which means it's difficult to justify running them. I'll therefore be cancelling that lab slot after this week - if you were ...

There are no incompatibilities between the libvirt disk image and the virtualbox disk image. They contain exactly the same software packages, running on exactly the same Linux kernel, on exactly the same (virtualised) hardware. The hostname (stor...

Glad to hear you got things working. I'll add the username and password details to the lab sheet. Cheers, Arran

WAIT Less stop By following the instructions on https cits3007.github.io labs lab01-utm.html, the .box file they get us to download is from the libvirt provider (you can see this by looking at the URL for the box, https ...

YESSSSS I FINALLY DID IT WOO D D D Less gooo I've been trying this for HOURS But what you said was exactly what I was looking for I didn't realise that the other link that existed in the lab 1 worksheet here (https...

hi vagrant is a tool that help to download cits3007 SDE and put it in virtualbox. you dont have to use vagrant to manage your vm if you finished Ben's UTM setup guide. because you have the cits3007 VM condition alr. its included in Ben's UTM setup gui...

Thanks for letting me know. Just to clarify the lab worksheet "Using UTM on M-series Mac laptops" suggests a different process to the one you seem to have used. You've extracted a .vmdk file from your .vagrant.d directory, then used qemu-img to co...

I've tried doing numerous times this but had no success. It's a shame as I have successfully done this extraction before, though it has always been a hit-or-miss. Going into .vagrant.d boxes arranstewart-VAGRANTSLASH-cits3007-ubuntu2004 0.1.4 vir...

Hi, Yes, solutions to any problems posed in a lab worksheet will normally get posted on the website the following week. Cheers, Arran ANONYMOUS wrote

Hi. Will answers to the labs be provided? Thanks.

Hi, Just to clarify, have you tried following the lab instructions here utm , which are linked to from the Lab 1 worksheet here lab1 ? Those instructions suggest using - the UTM gallery's ARM64 Ubuntu 22.04 image, which should be fine for most purp...

Hi everyone I ran into a problem with setting up VM for Mac. It seems like UTM is the one I should use for the M-series Mac, but Vagrant doesn't support UTM as a provider so I can't set up the required SDE. Has anyone got the same issue or managed t...

Hi, Yes, there's no problem with that, any 5.( something ) version is fine. (In fact, the labs should work with any 4. x kernel as well, and some 3. x kernels. The main changes that affect the labs are differences in security features between kernel ...

Hi, Will newer Linux versions such as those in current versions of WSL be okay to use for the labs? The version is 5.10.16.3 rather than the 5.4 specified in lab sheets. Thanks
