We've upgraded all the school MySQL server to the latest OS releases (and installed PHP 8.4). Student projects shouldn't be affected, but if you have any issue please create a helpdesk ticket as usual. Some PHP 8.2 functions might be deprecated (eg. utf8_encode()), Google is your friend here!

As Windows 10 reaches end of life in October this year, students can now create Windows 11 VMs inside XOA, no matter what their module xoa.comp.dkit.ie

XOA users are reminded to make a request for VM permissions via xoarequest.comp.dkit.ie. After requesting permissions, you must immediately login to the XOA Dashboard (xoa.comp.dkit.ie) to initialize your account. Permissions are then granted within 24 hours.

There is a TOTAL service outage scheduled for Mon 13th to Tues 14th Jan. During this time there will be no network access to ANYTHING on campus, so plan accordingly. Most services eg. Email, Moodle etc will still be available from outside the college.

PJTechs are now on Bluesky. We will be adjusting all the screens in the Carrolls Building to now display skeets rather that tweets!
