[slurm-users] Slurm 18.08 X11 Errors

[Luca Cenzato]

Hi Nathan,

we follow your input but we weren't able to succeed only changing xauth.


Current status (we've updare to 18.08.1)
is that we log in with X2go; DISPLAY is =:50 (for example)
we set it to DISPLAY=$HOSTNAME:50.0
and after stopping firewalld, disabling SELinux and changing a bit
sshd_config
we've obtained a working X11.

We'll go on to narrow the changes; I'll update if something useful comes
out.

Bye,
Luca
