KTH Ubuntu - Available software

Software in KTH Ubuntu is often standardized for categories of computers, such as "all desktop machines in computer lab rooms." But software can be installed or excluded on individual machines as well.

Current versions for engineering software

Software OS Version
COMSOL Multiphysics 20.04 6.2
Maple 20.04 2022
Mathematica 20.04 14
Matlab 20.04

R2024a (computer classrooms)
R2022b (personal workstations)

Some older versions, R2020b, R2021a, etc, are available by request for personal workstations.

Applications

In addition to the standard Ubuntu repositories, KTH Ubuntu also uses

  • Launchpad PPAs and other official repositories
  • locally packaged software
  • software compiled from source

The application list below only includes what is available in the standard desktop environment, and additional software that can be installed on workstations or in computer lab rooms. The list not contain software libraries or utility applications, except where a local version is used to replace or complement default packages. Nor does it include packages that provide plugins or configuration changes to other software.

If you need to know precisely what is installed, or available, contact us.

Use Order installation  if an application is missing. For computer lab room, this is normally done by faculty staff (teachers or course responsible).

Notes for specific applications

Some applications may require configuration or other personal settings.

Application Computer lab rooms Personal workstations Notes
Dropbox Not available By request

Note that KTH regulations restrict what data employees can save in Dropbox.
On personal machines, use a local directory (/NOBACKUP/username) since Dropbox does not support network file systems ., i.e. AFS home directories.

Users in computer lab rooms will normally move between different machines, and can therefore not use a local directory. This means the Dropbox client (which does not support AFS home directories, see above) cannot be used..

CUDA Installed By request System must have a compatible Nvidia GPU.
The module cuda can be used to run nvcc or other CUDA commands.
Oracle VirtualBox Installed By request

License is required for extensions.

Skype for Linux Not available By request KTH offers multiple other alternatives as well, such as Zoom (below). See also Digital meetings and lectures .
Zoom Client Installed Installed Zoom Client is installed on all desktop machines.
