To open the terminal, click the start button at bottom-left corner, go to System Tools -> Choose LXTerminal.
Each clouddesktop has a special IP for connecting to our global private network. The tailscale IP can be found on the terminal.
To restart the clouddesktop in case of a freeze, open a terminal in Code Editor, type restart.
If that did not work, please reach out to your TA.
