Hi,
in slurm 17.11.5 I just realized that slurmstepd tries to add the X11
magic cookie into .Xauthority inside root context in order to make x11
natively work.
The filesystem has to be configured to allow this. I did this
now, but I am wondering why it could not be done in the user's context the
same way as the ssh daemon is doing.
Best,
Marco

I see --x11 option in [1], but there isn't any such option. Is that
for old versions? Also, there is a wrapper [2] for srun.x11. Is there
any builtin x11 support in slurm?
There is native X11 support in slurm but after testing it and reading
the list archives, I decided it wasn't reliable enough to use in
production and reverted to using the spank plugin which does work
reliably.
Are you using rocks? I can send some instructions for installing the
X11 spank plugin on rocks if you're interested.
