Hi Vincent, Bernard and OSCAR friends. Excuse me if this has already been resolved - Africa had to go to sleep in the middle of it... Ok so then I think we have found a problem. When I install Linux (Redhat a couple years ago and now Mandrake), I always decline to make graphical mode the default

Hello Bernard, Ok so then I think we have found a problem. When I install Linux (Redhat a coupld years ago and now Mandrake), I always decline to make graphical mode the default boot level. When the system boots I get a text login, and I normally login in under a user account and then "startx".

Title: RE: mkstemp and rsync error [was Re: [Oscar-users] password prompts during step 7] Hi Vincent:   Okay glad that we're on the same page :)   So I assume you have direct access to console to your headnode, can you make it so that graphical mode is the default boot level?   After that,

Hello Bernard, I am doing everything exactly as you describe below, but thanks for the outline. We are indeed on the same page. If I had to install OSCAR on all my nodes I would not use it :) So as hard as it may be to believe, I really am having a problem as described in my previous email. Vi

Hi Vincent: I just want to clarify something... it sounds like you are trying to install OSCAR on all your nodes? I'm going to outline the OSCAR installation process and see if this makes sense: - To install OSCAR, you need a headnode and a bunch of slave nodes (could be 1, could be 50) - You o

Hello Bernard, Also I have started over many times (and I am willing to again). Each time I install everything under root login. After OSCAR wizard step 6 is completed successfully here's my process: * Log into console under user account 'vtrandal' or 'test3' or any user * Run "startx" under use

Hi Vincent: I strongly suspect that you are seeing all these problem because OSCAR is using the user 'vtrandal' to execute the programs - why? That's a difficult question to answer. I suggest you do a start_over, and make sure you are using the root user to install OSCAR, then you can go back an

Hello Ben, Thank for the suggestion, but I think I asked the wrong question. I tried running "cexec mount /home" from root on the server and (after asking for a password) it says that it is already mounted per mtab on the client. I am beginning to understand that the password prompts are normall
