Is there any way to query slurm to see if the x11 module has been compiled? Currently, I am using the slurm roll on rocks 7. Previously, I was able to use spank with slurm roll 17. While, the spank rpm is now uninstalled, I tried the following cases: 1) [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ srun --nodelist=rocks7 -n 1 -c 6 --mem=8G -A y8 -p RUBY xclock Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion which shows the xclock 2) [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ srun --x11 --nodelist=rocks7 -n 1 -c 6 --mem=8G -A y8 -p RUBY xclock srun: error: Cannot forward to local display. Can only use X11 forwarding with network displays. 3) [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ srun --nodelist=compute-0-5 -n 1 -c 6 --mem=8G -A y8 -p RUBY xclock Error: Can't open display: :1 srun: error: compute-0-5: task 0: Exited with exit code 1 4) [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ srun --x11 --nodelist=compute-0-5 -n 1 -c 6 --mem=8G -A y8 -p RUBY xclock srun: error: Cannot forward to local display. Can only use X11 forwarding with network displays. Regards, Mahmood
