Assignment Partner Submission

[Brian Attwell]

Hi,

I've been trying to set up partners for the assignment and am receiving
an error message.

The file contains:
bcattwel
ielashi

Submit Attempt:
student:~/cs246/Project> ls
group.txt
student:~/cs246/Project> submit cs246 segroup .
Cannot chdir to /u/cs246/handin/segroup/#bcattwel.26603

In total, 0 files were copied successfully.
No files have yet been submitted by bcattwell for cs246 (assignment
segroup).

To submit files from the current directory, try:
submit cs246 segroup .

------
Is this message familiar? Am I doing something naive? Or, is my account
not in some list? I switched into SE a year ago, so it is possible that
my student.cs account may not be set up typically.

Something else that is odd: the message states "No files have yet been
submitted by bcattwell". My account name is not bcattwell, rather
bcattwel. Maybe this is a clue.

Thanks for any help,
Brian Attwell

Interesting. I've never seen that one before. There's no directory for
you in /u/cs246/handin/segroup, which is where your group.txt would be
stored; however, other people have managed to submit successfully, which
seems odd. What machine were you logged into? I'm quite sure that submit
on the Solaris machines works, not so sure that it works on the Ubuntu
machines, so you could try one of the cpuNN.student.cs machines first.
Otherwise, please see your tutor or instructor.

Your userid is longer than 8 characters, but UNIX only cares (for most
things) that the first 8 characters are unique.

Please try submitting again and let me know if it works now. Thanks.
