Try The New Virtual Machines!
NOTE: Starting mid-day on 22JAN2015, the login-teer system had some problems. For the time being, use "real" Teer machines.
This page is for posting "strange" things that happen, particularly with the Teer machines. If we can get them explained and solved - great! If not - at least you will know you were not alone! The machines to avoid are given below.
Machines to Avoid as of 18:14, 22 January 2015 (EST)
Teer 04, 36
Not Responding
Check Ping Results to see which machines are not responding to hails. As of 18:14, 22 January 2015 (EST) it's 04, 26.
Warnings / Other Things That Aren't Actually Problems
evince SettingsDaemon
When starting emacs, a strange error (or hundreds of them show up) saying:

- Machines: All Teer
- Solution: It still works...hit enter to get to a new command prompt but evince should be working
Xlib: extension missing
Occasionally, the error message comes up with graphical programs saying:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
- Date(s): Starting two years ago, continuing on
- Machines: All Teer
- Solution: The graphical programs still work...hit enter to get to a new command prompt but the graphical program should be working
