Logging In

There are 4 desktop Linux systems in the lab. When you log in to a machine directly by being physically present at the machine, you are said to be “on the console”. If a particular machine is free, you will know by the login screen asking for a password. If the screen is blank, wiggle the mouse or press a key on the keyboard to disable the screen saver. If someone else is logged into the machine, please don’t just sit down and start using it. They should have locked the screen when they got up, but not everyone remembers to do that every time.

Use your UW NetID and password here without the domain name. For example: bobross1 AND NOT bobross1@uw.edu

Locking or Logging Out

You can lock the screen by clicking the “System” menu and clicking the lock button. If you are done using the computer, you can logout from this menu as well.
