It is important to periodically connect your laptop to a Network. Please see LaptopUsersGuide for additional notes on using CLASSE Managed Laptops.
Change Network Settings
To switch between wire and wireless, and to connect to the CLASSE VPN, use the "Networking" icon in the upper-right corner of your screen.
After clicking on that icon, you should see available network interfaces. Your wired interfaces are listed under "Ethernet Network," and any wireless interfaces will be listed under "Wi-Fi Networks."
Filesystems / Disks
Unlike CLASSE Managed Linux desktops, laptops use local home disks and do not have access to NFS File systems.
Your CLASSE Managed Linux laptops (or desktops) local disks are not backed up.
To access NetworkedFilesystems, you will need to use the samba protocol instead of NFS
Connect to a network.
Open the File Manager (double-click on a folder on your desktop)
click on "samba" underneath "PLACES," or select one of the precreated CLASSE Shortcuts.
