Apr 02, 2014. Ok so one of my friends found out he has symptoms (who I’ve been in contact w since I moved in last week) and I just don’t know if I should just say fuck it and pack my things and make the 8 hour drive back home tomorrow and quarantine back home (my bedroom is pretty isolated away from my family so I feel that it’s def a lot safer than being crammed inside my apartment bedroom like a. Laser printing facilities are provided in many locations around campus including computer labs and the Carrier and Rose Libraries. Documents may be submitted from most lab or library computers as well as from a personal computer provided the computer is connected to the JMU wired or wireless network.
With no party assuming responsibility for thousands of acres of UXO-infested land, the fate of Panama’s ex-United States artillery ranges remains unresolved. The grueling task of transforming the unusable land falls to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal community leaving the tainted ground waiting for release. JMU needed 10 fourth-quarter points to win 20-7 at Villanova. “Our goal is to be the best conference in the country and constantly try to improve on that brand that we have,” CAA commissioner.
James Madison University, Fall 2019 SemesterVirtual Machine Installation
The main computer labs in the JMU CS department run Linux Mint.In contrast to operating systems like Windows and OS X, Linux is free and open-source.Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon are all powered by Linux.This page is for CS 101 students who would like to run Linux on their own computers, without having to replace their current OS.
Thanks to virtualization, it's easier than ever to get Linux up at running at home.VirtualBox is a free program that allows you to create and run 'virtual machines' on your computer.Go to https://www.virtualbox.org/ and download the installer for your host operating system. Run the installer and accept all the default options (click 'next' until done).
Note for Mac users: If installation fails, open System Preferences, go to Security & Privacy, and then click Allow next to 'System software from 'Oracle America, Inc.' was blocked from loading'. Then re-run the VirtualBox installer; it should succeed this time.
The Unix Users Group maintains a virtual appliance based on Linux Mint that includes all the necessary software for the CS 101 labs. Simply download and open the file below to import it into VirtualBox. Once imported, it will require about 15-20 GB of hard disk space.

Please wait to complete the following steps until the lab period (first Wednesday in class). If you run into trouble, it's easier to help you in the moment than after the fact. |
From within VirtualBox, click the green Start button to boot up 'JMU Linux Mint Fa19'. One of two things will happen:
If the virtual machine starts up with no error, proceed to the next step.
If you get an error message about 'VT-x' or 'AMD-V', please raise your hand and a TA will help you enable x86 virtualization in your BIOS. This process is complicated; you will need to reboot your laptop fully and press a hotkey (Dell = F2, HP = F10, Lenovo = F1). Windows 10 users may need to go to Settings → Update Security → Recovery → Advanced Startup → Restart Now.
The first time you start the VM, it will guide you through the setup process. Please select the following options; there will be a separate screen for each one.
English language -- you can install other language packs later on, but choose English now so that we can help you.
English Keyboard -- just press Continue (the default 'English (US)' is correct for JMU).
Eastern Time Zone -- just press Continue (the default 'New York' is correct for JMU).
Who are you? -- this screen is very important. It sets up the admin account for the VM.
After you press Continue, it will take several minutes to finish configuring the operating system. Then the virtual machine will reboot; it may take a little longer this first time. When you see the desktop with icons, you're all done!
Please complete the following steps when you get home. The JMU wireless network might not appreciate everyone downloading large software packages all at the same time. |
You virtual machine is like a second laptop inside your laptop. It has its own file system, application software, etc. You'll want to keep it up to date throughout the semester. Click the shield icon in the lower right (by the clock). Press the OK button to confirm the update manager settings. The rest should be self-explanatory.
For conveneince, we have bundled everything you'll need into a single download task. Double click the 'JMU CS VM Configuration' icon on your desktop, check the 'CS 101' box, and then press the 'Run' button. This step may take several minutes to complete, depending on your Internet connection and laptop speed.

Dear Dukes,
As we prepare to welcome and support you through the fall semester, your friends at the JMU Libraries have been hard at work.

This summary document draws on the efforts of our JMU Libraries Dean’s Council and Library Emergency Response Team (aLERT). These groups have developed scenario-based and safety-minded plans that incorporate scientific research and emerging best practices.
We are here for you in extraordinary times — but our success as a community depends on our willingness to protect each other. Thank you for your commitment to helping JMU “Stop the Spread.”
Sincerely,
