Hi All, I want to connect to my Linux box (RedHat 9.0) from my WinXP laptop through SSH and run PyMOL. Can I do this? Whenever I try, I get the following error related to the GUI: GLUT: Fatal Error in pymol: could not open display: PyMOL: abrupt program termination. All I want is to run scripts to generate png files - no GUI manipulations necessary. Thanks -Fred |

Fred, Using the "-c" command line option will launch the command-line version of PYMOL (no display required). You may also wish to use "-q" to suppress the "splash" information. pymol -cq pymol_script.pml or pymol -cq python_program.py Cheers, Warren > -----Original Message----- > From: pym...@li... > [mailto:pym...@li...] On Behalf Of > Fred Berkovitch > Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 8:21 PM > To: pym...@li... > Subject: [PyMOL] running PyMOL remotely - how to do it without GUI > > Hi All, > > I want to connect to my Linux box (RedHat 9.0) from my WinXP > laptop through SSH and run PyMOL.

Hi Fred, I think the error has nothing to do with PyMOL. If you want to show GUI of an application on a remote machine, you will need some x-windows system. If your both your remote and local systems are UNIX/LINUX/IRIX/SUN, you can use the "xhost remote_address" command before you launch the application. If your local machine is windows based, then you need a 3rd party software, e.g. x-win32 or hummingbird exceed.

one other option. if you use ssh (instead of telnet) ... use the '-X' flag and there's no need use the xhost command: ssh -X user@hostname see 'man ssh' for all options -- your server may need to be setup to use this specific switch. if you are under windows, you can check out 'cygwin' to connect to a remote server too (it provides a nice bash command prompt for windows & X). cheers- Doug On Mar 18, 2004, at 12:50 AM, Lihua Wang wrote: > If your both your remote and local systems are UNIX/LINUX/IRIX/SUN, you > can use the "xhost remote_address" command before you launch the > application.
