I will skip X-forwarding on my ssh connections, thanks for pointing that
out.
I realized shortly after posting that I mis-spoke. Although I have tigervnc
installed, I am using xinetd to launch Xvnc, *not* tigervnc.
service xvnc_darwin
{
disable = no
protocol = tcp
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -Log *:syslog:100 -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry
1024x768 -depth 24 securitytypes=none
}
Do you prefer using Xvnc for *nix systems in your own work, or something
else? It is not important to me how remote X servers are managed, I just
need multiple users to be able to create an SSH tunnel, and point their
TurboVNC viewer at this port to receive a private remote desktop, with
VirtualGL capabilities. This xinetd/XDMCP configuration popped up on the
RHEL 7 server documentation, so this is where I got the idea. Very open to
your thoughts.
Once I'm able to access the server node, I will plug in a monitor to assess
whether I am able to run GL applications, such as glxinfo.
I was not able to run the sanity checks from your documentation, because I
do not have a vgl_xauth_key file in /etc/opt/VirtualGL/. In fact, there are
no files in this directory at all. Perhaps this is where I should have
started our discussion!
I ran the vglserver_config to view its output once more, and noticed that
part of the setup failed with 'can not rmmod nvidia, module is currently in
use by nvidia_modeset. I stopped the gdm service again, and used rmmod to
remove all the nvidia dependencies, and finally the nvidia module itself
before running the vglserver_config. I am still unable to use vglrun from
the remote desktop, but perhaps the file I am missing in /etc/opt/VirtualGL
has something to do with that?
