I'm having a DISPLAY issue in RHEL6.8 that I don't have in RHEL5. I am using SGE6.2u6
I use VNC to connect to a linux server. By default the DISPLAY is set to :4.0 and I can start GUI jobs locally: # echo $DISPLAY :4.0 # xclock However if I submit a GUI job it gives me a display error: # qrsh -V -b y -cwd -now n -q test.q@ibm065 xclock Error: Can't open display: :4.0 At this point I set the display by adding the hostname and I can successfully submit the job: # setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:4.0 # echo $DISPLAY ibm041:4.0 # qrsh -V -b y -cwd -now n -q test.q@ibm065 xclock At least, it is successful in RHEL5. However in RHEL6.8 setting the display with hostname doesn't allow GUi jobs to start either locally or remotely: # setenv DISPLAY ibm046:4.0 # xclock Error: Can't open display: ibm046:4.0 # setenv DISPLAY ibm046:4.0 # qrsh -V -b y -cwd -now n -j y -q test.q@ibm065 xclock Error: Can't open display: ibm046:4.0 Hopefully somebody has experienced it before.
