+ | -Rana Elliott | ||
+ | **Objective** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our objective frequently throughout the semester was fixing errors within lab46 and the computers that you run it on in our lab. For example, we discussed making the computers have working speakers, something that none of us really knew what was wrong with them in the first place so that they do not make noise. Another thing was preventing an issue where if a person did not log into the computer it would spazz out and have to be restarted. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Materials** | ||
+ | |||
+ | We used lab46, and the files that contain info about it, such as /var/logs for the pods, and other such things. We also used google to search up different things that could be causing certain issues. We also used Matt's mind for information because he is the master of all things computers and lab46. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Background** | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is important that we fix the computers in a timely manner, because if not then things could easily interfere with classes and make it harder for matt as a whole. The days that he had to manually go around and log into every computer were probably an inconvenience (if a minor one), and its best if we avoid situations like that if possible | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Procedure** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Firstly, we would examine the problem closely, understanding what specific action causes it, how often it occurs, and thinking about whether or not it is fixable and enough of an inconvenience that it is worth it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next, we tried to determine the root of the problem. what is the part of the computer, os, system, or other function that is causing the problem at its root then it is run. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next we would try and fix the issue, whether it means removing an update that was put on, or putting some workaround so that we can avoid the error altogether. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **References** | ||
+ | We used google a lot to see if other people were experiencing this issue. |
