Technical Overview

X11 forwarding for the Slurm 'srun' command doesn't work in the current OHPC slurm packages.

Issue #28 was closed with the observation that this would be the case: https://github.com/openhpc/submissions/issues/28#issuecomment-363408420

However this feature doesn't seem to be enabled:

[csn-h0 ~]# srun --version slurm 17.11.5 [csn-h0 ~]# srun -p cpu -N 1 --mem 16G --x11 --pty bash srun: unrecognized option '--x11'

Latest stable version number

17.11.5-20.2

Hi @tuxwielder. There was a build dependency issue with slurm v17.11.5 that will be addressed in the next release, likely soon. Please follow issue https://github.com/openhpc/ohpc/issues/701.
