Can I upgrade helos? I would like to have it at a pretty recent version, like the "testing" version of debian. How should I go about that? -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel
I just tried logging on to Helos. Somehow, I do not have access anymore. It currently runs Ubuntu 18.04, right? Even though there is the newer 20.04 LTS version, 18.04 is still pretty commonly used. Generally, I do not mind upgrading to a newer LTS version. However, ShinyProxy, the middleware deploying CollEc, is yet to be released for Ubuntu 20.04 (https://www.shinyproxy.io/downloads/). I could install the platform-independent JAR file, which might not perform as well as the packages tailored to the 16.04 and 18.04 Ubuntu LTS versions. Though the Debian testing release is usually close to the latest Ubuntu LTS version, I prefer Ubuntu. Debian is prone to compatibility issues. The Ubuntu LTS tends to be better supported, resulting in less errors. Is there a specific reason why you want to upgrade the machine? I am not generally opposed to it. If there is a good reason, we should do it. I am just wary of any adverse effects on CollEc.

Not there at all. I need this to do python coding, to work on the Lebach stuff. Yeah, I could code on trabbi and upload, or do some intra-emacs ssh wizardry, but the point is this is very old stuff. I may have to move ArcEc to helos. I'm at 95% on darni. But first we need space in helos. I hope that Lebach will do that. Actually I found that python3.8 seems available, but I have to install it manually. I'm doing this right now. -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel
Some software requires adding additional repositories that the package manager browses for updates. At least in the case of R, the version in the Ubuntu default repository is not always the most recent one. Adding a repository and key from the R project fixes that. This might be similar for Python.

I just updated the app. To speed up startup times, the app now loads fewer packages, or namespaces, at initialization. Let me know, if you notice any unexpected behavior.

Sorry, my bad. I still have access. I had just moved the private key to a different directory.
