Hi, I am trying to run a relatively large code, which includes some calls to and import from pylab/matplotlib, on a remote machine: the part of the code I am running is NOT performing any plot so there is no direct access to a display. Unfortunately it still crashes with something like:
---> 40 cursors.MOVE : gdk.Cursor(gdk.FLEUR), 41 cursors.HAND : gdk.Cursor(gdk.HAND2), 42 cursors.POINTER : gdk.Cursor(gdk.LEFT_PTR), RuntimeError: could not create GdkCursor object when it tries to reach the display when importing pylab I guess. I am now doing this from my laptop from a non-fixed IP and there is no easy way for me to forward the display (loging e.g. with ssh -X), or to just isolate the pylab part of the code (lots of files, lots of lines, etc). I am desperately trying to run this long calculation on that remote machine (and do it while my laptop is off, using "screen") because I need a lot of memory and CPU.... How can I overpass this easily (just allowing for the code not to crash with that initialisation and go on with the rest) ??? thanks for any input there Eric ======== running: matplotlib version 0.98.3 Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Aug 1 2008, 00:35:20) via IPython 0.9.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
