Logging Into The AIBS Karabo Interface

The AIBS Karabo configuration interface is accessible via a special display node, to which only certain users have access.

To log onto this node, go to the address communicated to you in a web browser. This will open a FastX webinterface. You will see a login page, where you need to give your standard XFEL computing credentials.

After logging in you will see the session select screen of FastX. If you’ve previously logged in you can select your already running session here, if its your first log in, click launch session, then select XFCE and click Launch.

If you’ve started a new session, you will see a page open up with an empty desktop environment, similar to the one below.

In case you launched your previous session, your Desktop will already contain the applications you’ve last used.
