Re: [vizstack-users] Configuring VizStack - TurboVNC server failed to start - Problem

[Kumar, S. <shr...@hp...>]

Hi Cristi,

Looks like a commonn cluster setup issue to me.

>From your earlier email, I can see that VizStack is managing GPUs on two systems cgis[1-2]. When you run viz-tvnc, it tries to start a TurboVNC server on one of those systems. If a TurboVNC server cannot be started on those nodes, then the script will fail.

You have already setup a password on your local machine (the machine where you ran the configure scrpt - cgis0, perhaps), so the server is starting up just fine.

Interestingly, startup can fail on a per-user basis. If a user has not assigned a vnc password, then the server will not start. If you try to start the TurboVNC server on any of the nodes cgis[1-2], you will find that it prompts you for a password. Can you confirm that this is the issue ?

If you find that this is indeed the issue, then you will have to ensure that every user who wants to use TurboVNC will have to set a password on every machine. If you have shared home directories, then they need to set the password atleast once.

Regards

I would like to add that I had tested the VNC server (classical way)and is working fine.

EX:
/opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver

New 'X' desktop is my_server:1

On the client machine, I started the TurboVNC Viewer.

A TurboVNC desktop window appeared on the client machine (port 5901). This window contains a virtual X server with which I can interact.


I don't know why is not working in Vizstack....


Thank you in advance !

Regards,
Cristi
