VBox part 2: CODAS Virtual Computer Navigation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When booted, the virtual computer automatically logs in

- user "adcpproc"
- password "codas3"
- computer is called **"codaspy"**

Networking is done by Virtual Box through the host computer,
so if your computer is on the network, **codaspy** should also
be on the network.

.. warning:: If you did not reset your MAC address when you imported the virtual machine,

     **DO IT NOW**.


     It is very bad for the network if two machines have the same MAC address.

     - shut down the Virtual Computer
     - look for the ``Devices`` menu
             - choose ``Networking``
             - look for ``Network Settings``
                     - click ``Advanced``
                     - click on a little green recycle icon near the MAC address.
     - restart the Virtual Computer

     Go ahead, don't wait.

     **This is critical if you are on the same network as
     someone else running the same virtual computer**

     Screenshots of the steps are  `here <RESET_MAC/index.html>`_.

**General desktop layout**

Your desktop color may different from these screenshots, but the
layout should be the same.  The new desktop is
only shown where there are substantive differences.

The Virtual computer has been set to share a clipboard with the host
computer, so you should be able to copy and paste instructions back and forth.

It is **HIGHLY BENEFICIAL** to have a 3-button mouse for editing
and copy/paste commands in the Linux environment.

Copy/paste within the virtual computer can be done with a 3-button mouse by

- double click or click-and-select text with the **left** button
- paste it by clicking the **middle** button once.
