Re: [slurm-users] Building SLURM with X11 support
Hi all, I managed to solve the issue...xauth was missing from the compute nodes! I increased the debug level in the slurmd logging and finally figured it out.

Re: [slurm-users] Building SLURM with X11 support
Thank you both for your replies. Our OS is CentOS 7.7. We have the dependencies installed and also the PrologFlags=X11 in the slurm.conf. Perhaps I am missing some X11 packages? But X11 is working outside SLURM. When getting interactive access on a node basically I get: salloc -N1 --x11 salloc: Granted job allocation 4694 salloc: Waiting for resource configuration salloc: Job allocation 4694 has been revoked. Also, when compiling SLURM in the config.log I get: configure:22291: checking whether Slurm internal X11 support is enabled configure:22306: result: The result is empty. I read that X11 is build by default so I don't expect a special flag to be given during compilation time right?

Re: [slurm-users] Building SLURM with X11 support
Hi Thekla, it is build in by default since... some time. You need to activate it by adding PrologFlags=X11 to your slurm.conf (see here: https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurm.conf.html#OPT_PrologFlags) Best, Marcus On 27.05.21 14:07, Thekla Loizou wrote: Dear all, I am trying to use X11 forwarding in SLURM with no success.
