Re: [slurm-users] About x11 support

[Bas van der Vlies]

It is compile\d with `-x11` else you get an error message that the option is not supported. As said it only supports RSA-keys (hardcoded in the src, libssh2 can handle more formats) and you must use short hostnames. Another thing is we had to set:

 * X11Parameters=local_xauthority

because we have autofs enabled home dirs.

Is there any way to query slurm to see if the x11 module has been compiled?


While, the spank rpm is now uninstalled, I tried the following cases:

1)

Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
which shows the xclock

2)



3)

Error: Can't open display: :1
srun: error: compute-0-5: task 0: Exited with exit code 1


4)

Currently, I am using the slurm roll on rocks 7. Previously, I was able to use spank with slurm roll 17. [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ srun --nodelist=rocks7 -n 1 -c 6 --mem=8G -A y8 -p RUBY xclock [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ srun --x11 --nodelist=rocks7 -n 1 -c 6 --mem=8G -A y8 -p RUBY xclock srun: error: Cannot forward to local display. Can only use X11 forwarding with network displays.
