The ECELinux Virtual Lab environment is available to ECE Lab users. Please use the instructions below to connect to either an SSH command-line only or graphical interface.
Contents
Connect to the Cornell Network
- From off-campus, connect to Cornell VPN first.
- If you are on campus and your workstation is not hardwired to the network:
- Connect to RedRover or Eduroam Wifi
New ecelinux environment!
- The ecelinux server environment has been upgraded to RHEL 8.
- All requested CAD software has been installed at it’s latest version as many of the older versions will not work with RHEL 8.
Connect to ecelinux.ece.cornell.edu
- SSH
- From Terminal or Command Prompt enter this command:
- ssh <netid>@ecelinux.ece.cornell.edu
- replace <netid> with your NetID.
- When prompted, enter NetID password
- ssh <netid>@ecelinux.ece.cornell.edu
- From Terminal or Command Prompt enter this command:
- Remote Desktop
- Use Microsoft RDP from a Windows or MAC workstation/laptop
- Make sure that you log out every time you exit your session.
- Do NOT just close the window.
- Uncheck the “Save session for future logins” check box and choose Log Out.
- If you don’t do this, your session will stay active on the ecelinux machine you were on and won’t release your resources, so files that you may have been editing will stay open and applications you were using will remain running. Also, if you are using Firefox, you will not be able to open it on any other ecelinux/ph314 system until you issue the command “rm -rf ~/.mozilla/firefox/”.

- Install Microsoft Remote Desktop application:
- MacOS: Download from the App Store: Link to App Store for Microsoft Remote Desktop

- When finished, sign out by selecting “Log Out” from the Applications drop-down menu in the upper-left corner.
- In the resulting window, uncheck the “Save session for future logins” check box.
- Select the “Log Out” button.
- Install Microsoft Remote Desktop application:
