[slurm-users] About x11 support

Tue Nov 20 08:27:15 MST 2018

Hi Chris,

Are you using the built in slurm x11 support? Or that spank plugin? We haven't been able to get the right combo of things in place to get the built in x11 to work.

Best,
Chris

    It works here...

    $ srun --x11 xdpyinfo   
    srun: job 1744869 queued and waiting for resources
    srun: job 1744869 has been allocated resources
    name of display:    localhost:57.0
    version number:    11.0
    vendor string:    The X.Org Foundation
    vendor release number:    11906000
    X.Org version: 1.19.6
    [...]

    Remember that the internal version in Slurm uses libssh2 and so that imposes 
    some restrictions on the types of keys that can be used, i.e. they have to be 
    RSA keys.

    Extra info here: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fslurm.schedmd.com%2Ffaq.html%23x11&data=02%7C01%7Cchris.coffey%40nau.edu%7Cb1be422f13cc4c92ced708d64af1eb02%7C27d49e9f89e14aa099a3d35b57b2ba03%7C0%7C0%7C636778800224423065&sdata=6yV5h9G2fH2AyF9WrdFlkFVRZpsDGj55cvtMwkZ8I7k%3D&reserved=0

    You can (apparently) still use the external plugin if you build Slurm without 
    its internal X11 support.

    All the best,
    Chris
