Here are steps to log into Talapas from a remote computer (e.g., your personal workstation).

...

• talapas-ln1.uoregon.edu
• talapas-ln2.uoregon.edu

...

• .

...

• talapas-login.uoregon.edu

...

Your username on Talapas will be your Duck ID.  (That is, if your email address is alice@uoregon.edu, your Talapas username will be "alice".)  Your password is the same University-wide and can be managed at the UO password reset page.

Connecting via SSH

The SSH protocol is used for all shell connections to the login nodes.  Multiple SSH are clients available–you can use whichever one you find most convenient.

If you're logging in from one of these operating systems, it's easiest to just use the builtin ssh command.  To do this, open a terminal emulation program (often called "Terminal") to get a command-line on your workstation.  Then enter a command like this:

$ ssh myDuckID@talapas-ln1.uoregon.edu
Welcome to Talapas!

myDuckID@talapas-ln1.uoregon.edu's password: 
Last login: Thu May 25 10:18:23 2017 from somewhere.uoregon.edu

[myDuckID@ln1 ~]$

Microsoft Windows

Windows has no builtin SSH client, but you can download and install one of several free clients:

...

Configuration varies, but it's generally sufficient to specify SSH as the protocol and to use the hostname, username, and password information as specified above.

...

On a Chromebook, or most other platforms that run the Google Chrome web browser, you can install the Google Chrome Secure Shell extension.  This is a terminal emulator and SSH client that runs in a Chrome window.

...

Once the server is running, you can forward X11 traffic to it when you start an SSH connection.  For command-line clients, this is as easy as adding the -Y flag for :

ssh -Y myDuckID@talapas-ln1.uoregon.edu

For other SSH clients, you may need to configure the corresponding option.

See How-to Run an X11 application for more details on running an X11 program on a compute node.
