Also, I checked the xorg-x11 package on client node by typing:
rpm -qa |grep xorg-x11

I believe xorg-x11 has been installed on the client end. I still couldn't get into graphic mode at the client node.
Any idea? My headnode can run opengl test programs fine, but seem to have a hard time with client node for simple graphic desktop display and opengl.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Michelle:What packages are installed on your client nodes are dictated by the rpmlist in oscarsamples/ - those are provided there as a reference, feel free to make your own copy and add/delete packages from it.The issue with glext.h is probably because you are missing some OpenGL related -devel packages.To start Red Hat in graphical mode, you'll need the xorg-x11 package, this is not installed on the client node by default.So what you'll need to do is update the image by installing the additional packages, and then re-imaging the nodes, and/or just directly installing the packages onto the nodes.Please keep us posted on your progress - if this works out well, perhaps we can compile your work into a Chromium Package for OSCAR.Thanks,Bernard

Subject: [Oscar-users] experience installing visualization package Chromium on Oscar cluster?I am installing Chromium viz cluster to drive a 2x2 tiled display wall on my Oscar cluster. Four client nodes are connected to and used to drive four 24inch LCD dispalys. I had problem installing Chromium(error from glext.h) on my client node, but fine on my headnode.
I also couldn't start the redhat in graphic mode at client node by setting id from 3 to 5 in /etc/inittab: id:5:initdefault . My client node would still go to text mode after reboot even after I installed the nvidia driver.
I also noticed that many OpenGL packages such as glut under /usr/include and /usr/lib ( it should be default files with Redhat distribution) are missing at my client nodes. Those OpenGL packages are all on my headnode.
I was just wondering if Oscar installation skips many packages for client installation as opposed to headnode installation.
If anybody has experience using Chromium on a Oscar cluster especially on x86_64 machines, I would like to get some help from you. I knew some people who run Chromium under ROCKS. However, I would prefer Oscar as my underlying system for Chromium.
Thanks,
Michelle
