** Check that the location settings are correct. Click on 'receiver status' in the GPS tab and look at the latitude and longitude. The Sutherland Latitude is ~32 22 S while Cape Town is 33 56S. If the location is not corrrect, then the GPS will not find satellites and the correct location needs to be updated as described in the Configuring SHOC section.
* Camera is in an inoperable state:
** Restart the services by sshing into the SHOC computer (see Configuring SHOC section). : :: *** change into directory /home/ccd/programming/shoc and type the following: ./restart_services. It may be neccessary to do this a few times.:: *** If that does not work, under /home/ccd/programming/shoc type the following to stop and start in separate steps:
::: ./stop_services
::: ./start_services
:: **If prompted for the password, it is the same as that for the ccd user.
* Worst case scenario, when restarting the entire computer seems like an appropriate option:
:: ** ssh into the SHOC computer (see Configuring SHOC section):: ** type the following: sudo shutdown -h now:: ** The computer will shutdown. To power back on, someone must MANUALLY go press the button on the front of the SHOC computer.
'''* If, for whatever reason, you decide to open the SHOC computer case, you MUST USE ELECTROSTATIC PROTECTION. The computer components, especially the PCI card, are electrostatically sensitive. The computer should be placed on a grounding mat and a grounding wriststrap should be used before anything is touched.'''
