Thursday 26th March - staff.xrdp DICE remote desktop server
On Thursday morning the staff.xrdp.inf.ed.ac.uk DICE remote desktop server will be unavailable for a short time. We expect to take it down at about 09:30, and it should be back within half an hour. (The rest of the DICE remote desktop service won’t be affected - we did that last week.)
We’ll be applying important updates to its firmware and its Linux kernel, and this means that reboots will be needed.
We have to do this sort of work occasionally to keep the servers both secure and reliable.
Find out more about the DICE remote desktop service at its help page.
If you have questions, feedback, chocolates, please let Computing Support know (here's how).
