Required packages not included as default

• csh (For running MIDAS scripts)
• xinetd (Runs the rdate server for the FEEs)
• Telnet (Communication with the FEEs)
• dhcp

Configuration changes

• FEEs uses NFS2 which is no longer enabled by default
  • Must edit config in /etc/nfs.conf to uncomment the following lines:
    • [nfsd]
    • vers2=y
• /etc/xinetd.d/time-stream must be edited by uncommenting

  • disable        = no

• Many services such as xinetd and dhcp will not automatically start at startup following a restart of the system

  • To enable this must enter `systemctl enable dhcpd` or `systemctl enable xinetd`

  • Likewise can check status with `systemctl status $SERVICE_NAME`

• Also need to check the firewall status of the ethernet port connected to the FEEs.

  • Easiest solution is to set the port to be trusted

Optional extras

• For top bar icons similar to SL6 can use the gnome extension "Frippery panel favorites"
  • Then just need to create desktop icons for each of the startup scripts within /usr/share/applications - Attachment 1
  • Can also add screenshot to this - Attachment 2
• Gnome tweaks also allows the number of workspaces to be changed
• Also recommend setting workspaces to span displays
