[slurm-users] Issue with x11

[Sean Crosby]

Hi Mahmood,

Are you physically logged into rocks7? Or are you connecting via SSH? $DISPLAY = :1 kind of means that you are physically logged into the machine

On frontend of compute-0-0?
[mahmood at rocks7 ~]$ echo $DISPLAY
:1

I checked that and it was commented. I modified that and restarted the service. But still get the same error

[root at rocks7 mahmood]# grep X11UseLocalhost /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#X11UseLocalhost yes
[root at rocks7 mahmood]# vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[root at rocks7 mahmood]# systemctl restart sshd
sshd@                sshd-keygen.service  sshd.service         sshd.socket
[root at rocks7 mahmood]# systemctl restart sshd
[root at rocks7 mahmood]# grep X11UseLocalhost /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11UseLocalhost no
[root at rocks7 mahmood]# exit
exit
[mahmood at rocks7 ~]$ srun --x11 --nodelist=compute-0-0 --account y4 --partition RUBY -n 1 -c 4 --mem=1GB  xclock
srun: error: Cannot forward to local display. Can only use X11 forwarding with network displays.



Should I modify that parameter on compute-0-0 too?


Regards,
Mahmood
