[slurm-users] Slurm 18.08 X11 Errors

[Nathan R.M. Crawford]

Hi Luca,

  I hit something similar with 17.11.9-2 (and earlier 17.11 releases) on
CentOS 7.5, but it may not be your issue. For us, the xauth entry generated
through "srun --x11" only has the short hostname, but the entry created
with "ssh -X" has the full host name. Example lines from "xauth list":

c-17-29.gp.local/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
c0b1421ae0ad5b5b4e84dbc78030a044
c-17-29/unix:66  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  0298d5ce95ad67cb3bbfce549d280dc1

  The long hostname works, the short doesn't. Unitl I can figure out where
I mis-configured something (suggestions welcome!), this is the one-liner I
have people use:

xauth add $(hostname)/$(xauth list | grep $(hostname -s)/unix | cut -d/ -f2)

  It has the side effect of accumulating xauth entries (srun normally
deletes the one it creates), so I hope to find a fix before that becomes a
problem.
