Hi Justin, Yeah, stupid Outlook. Sorry, I am using the double dash, if you see any singles just assume that’s Outlook not me. :-)
I’ve tried using salloc but it doesn’t seem to help: salloc --partition=interactive --job-name=testx11 srun --pty --x11 --preserve-env /bin/bash still gives the same error: salloc: Granted job allocation 97 srun: Job step created srun: error: x11: unable to connect node node010 Thanks, Claire Dr Claire L.

But srun --x11 –pty bash gives me an error: srun: error: x11: unable to connect node node010 and env | grep DIS now says DISPLAY=:10.0. So I checked the values in sshd_config and X11Forwarding yes and X11UseLocalhost no, so that seems to be correct. I’ve checked the locations of x11.so, plugstack.conf, and slurm-spank-x11 and they’re all where I believe they are supposed to be. So I’m kind of stuck (and new to Slurm) and I really need some help figuring out why this isn’t working. Thanks, Claire Dr Claire L.
