To use the UKCA Tutorials on the JASMIN Unmanaged Cloud you first need to download and install X2Go client. This is available for Windows, macOS, and GNU/Linux.

Setting up X2Go

When setting up an X2Go session, the exact value of “session name” is not important. The key details are the settings under “server” and “proxy server”. You will also need to set the “session type” to LXDE.

Option Setting
Session name e.g. ukcatrXX@ukca-vmXX
Host ukca-vmXX
Login ukcatrXX
Use RSA/DSA key for ssh connection The path to your id_rsa_ukcatrXX key file (navigate via button)
Use Proxy server for SSH connection Tick checkbox
Proxy server – Host 192.171.139.44
Proxy server – same login as on X2Go server Tick checkbox
Proxy server – same password as on X2Go server Tick checkbox
Proxy server – RSA/DSA key The path to your id_rsa_ukcatrXX key file (navigate via button)
Session type Select LXDE from drop-down menu

Then press OK.

Note: On macOS you may need to maximise the Session Preferences window (using the green + marker in the top left corner) to allow you to set the session type and press the OK button, as this panel is quite long and these buttons will then become lost below the screen.
