[slurm-users] Issue with x11

[Marcus Wagner]

Dear Mahmood,

please open a console in the VNC session, do a ssh -Y rocks7 in the 
console (yes, relogin to the console) and try it again.
SLURM does not want to use local displays, and a VNC session is a 
"local" display, as far as it concerns linux and the X11 subsystem.
So, you need to relogin or login to another frontend node by ssh to get 
a remote display.


Best
Marcus
