Notes for SMRI users
Mainly for Linux users... instructions for Ubuntu specifically.
Network
Use wired network...
or use Eduroam, with "home institution" or with USyd credentials...
or UniSydney if you have UniKey.
Wired network
Simply plug the Cat5 network cable in to any RJ45 wall socket.
Eduroam
For visitors from, and for USyd people travelling to, subscribing institutions.
USyd people have Eduroam username UniKey@sydney.edu.au (not your email address).
Linux users may need to set up as per
https://cat.eduroam.org/ :
- Click "download your eduroam installer"
- Choose institution "The University of Sydney"
- Download for "TTLS profile" (says "use only if directed")
- Ensure python is installed:
sudo apt install python
- Run the installer (as the user, no sudo):
cd Downloads; python eduroam*.py
and choose:
- userid = UniKey@sydney.edu.au
- password = your UniKey password
UniSydney
Only for people with UniKey. Use settings:
- Security - WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
- Authentication - Protected EAP (PEAP)
- Anonymous identity - (blank)
- CA certificate - (none)
- TICKED - No CA certificate is required
- PEAP version - Automatic
- Inner authentication - MSCHAPv2
- Username - UniKey
- Password - (to match)
For wireless (UniSydney or Eduroam) maybe see also

Installers
http://softserv.usyd.edu.au/data/Printer-Drivers
for Linux
http://softserv.usyd.edu.au/data/Printer-Drivers/Linux%20Follow-Me-Print_Installer.zip
To install:
- Ensure CUPS, curl, java, and some GTK module are installed:
sudo apt install cups cups-client cups-daemon curl default-jre libcanberra-gtk-module
- Download installer (click link to ZIP file above)
- Unpack the installer:
cd Downloads; unzip Linux?Follow-Me-Print_Installer.zip
- Run the installer:
cd Downloads; sudo sh ./Linux?Follow-Me-Print_Installer.sh
and choose:
- 0 = not an "Unikey authenticated linux desktop"
- 1 = Camperdown campus
Ignore some spurious errors, about:
- accept - installer should use cupsaccept
- lpadmin deprecated drivers
- getcwd - ??
- Fix permissions on installed software:
sudo chmod -R go=rX /etc/papercut
- Reboot laptop (or just log out and back in?).
To use:
- Ensure that the PaperCut/Sydpay client is running.
You may need to (in a terminal window) run command
/etc/papercut/client/pc-client-launcher
after each login, or arrange to have that run at each login.
(Installer may put that into your ~/.bash_profile, may not be effective.)
- Choose either printer guest-grayscale or guest-colour.
You may get a PaperCut/SydPay login prompt for each print job
(or it may remember, prompt may take long after print request).
