Hörsaalsupport

Due to maintenance work on the storage system (Ceph Storage), the following applications will experience disruptions during the maintenance window:

• RWTHonline: Documents cannot be uploaded or downloaded in the “Submission of Final Theses” application. You should also complete any file uploads before the maintenance window begins to avoid errors.
• RWTHmoodle: Playing and editing existing videos, as well as uploading new videos, will not be possible. This only affects videos made available via the “Opencast” streaming application.
• Lecture Hall Streaming: Streaming videos from the lecture halls will not be possible.
• GitLab: Uploads (and downloads) of user files and images, CI/CD pipelines, artifacts and registries, and LFS will not be available. Backups will also not be possible.
• Linux Installation Server: The provision of Linux RPM packages and Kickstart files will be affected during the maintenance period.
• GigaMove: Uploading and downloading files will not be possible.

Partial maintenance has been completed.

Recording Not Available via RWTHmoodle

Partial outage has been resolved.

Although most services are back up and running following today's widespread outage, RWTHmoodle remains unavailable.

As a result, recordings in Hörsaal 4.0 are currently not possible.

The issue has been fixed.

Due to a necessary replacement of a busbar, there may be restrictions on Ceph Storage and related applications on February 10, 2026, between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

Ein Austausch ist bereits geplant und soll im Verlauf der Woche stattfinden.
Bitte beachten Sie das in Ihrer Planung und weichen Sie auf die Aufzeichnung mit dem Videokonferenz-PC aus.

Das Extron-Gerät wurde ausgetauscht, Aufzeichnungen sind wieder möglich.

The malfunction has been resolved.

There are currently technical problems with the Wacom tablet in lecture hall H03 (C.A.R.L.) Due to a loose contact, it may display a black screen and therefore cannot be operated. As a result, the use of the lecture hall PC is also restricted or not possible. We are already working on replacing the device as soon as possible.

Das Wacom-Tablet wurde ausgetauscht und ist wieder einsatzbereit. Auch der Hörsaal-PC kann wieder wie gewohnt genutzt werden.

It is currently not possible to project a single projection in lecture hall H01 (C.A.R.L.). We are workung to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

The lecture hall computer (Hörsaal-PC) in the Physics lecture hall (Hörsaal Physik) cannot be used at the moment. There is a malfunction on the screen that causes the image to flicker and prevents unrestricted use. Until the problem has been resolved, please use your own device. The video conference computer is available as usual.

Der Hörsaal-PC steht wieder uneingeschränkt zur Verfügung.
