Hi Ralph
No, after the above error message mpirun has exited.

But i also noticed that it is to ssh into squid_0 and open a xterm there:

 jody@chefli ~/share/neander $ ssh -Y squid_0
 Last login: Wed Apr  6 17:14:02 CEST 2011 from chefli.uzh.ch on pts/0
 jody@squid_0 ~ $ xterm
 xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
 xterm:  DISPLAY is not set
 jody@squid_0 ~ $ export DISPLAY=130.60.126.74:0.0
 jody@squid_0 ~ $ xterm
 xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 130.60.126.74:0.0
 jody@squid_0 ~ $ export DISPLAY=chefli.uzh.ch:0.0
 jody@squid_0 ~ $ xterm
 xterm Xt error: Can't open display: chefli.uzh.ch:0.0
 jody@squid_0 ~ $ exit
 logout

same thing with ssh -X, but here i get the same warning/error message
as with mpirun:

 jody@chefli ~/share/neander $ ssh -X squid_0
 Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
 Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
 Last login: Wed Apr  6 17:12:31 CEST 2011 from chefli.uzh.ch on ssh

So perhaps the whole problem is linked to that xauth-thing.
Do you have a suggestion how this can be solved?

Thank You
 Jody

If I read your error messages correctly, it looks like mpirun is crashing - the daemon is complaining that it lost the socket connection back to mpirun, and hence will abort.

Are you seeing mpirun still alive?

Hi

On my workstation and  the cluster i set up OpenMPI (v 1.4.2) so that

it works in "text-mode":

 $ mpirun -np 4  -x DISPLAY -host squid_0   printenv | grep WORLD_RANK

 OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK=0

 OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK=1

 OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK=2

 OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK=3

but when i use  the -xterm option to mpirun, it doesn't work

$ mpirun -np 4  -x DISPLAY -host squid_0 -xterm 1,2  printenv | grep WORLD_RANK

 Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated

 /usr/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: chefli.uzh.ch:0.0

(strange: somebody wrote his message to the console)

No matter whether i set the DISPLAY variable to the full hostname of

the workstation,

to the IP-Adress of the workstation or simply to ":0.0", it doesn't work

But i do have xauth data (as far as i know):

On the remote (squid_0):

 jody@squid_0 ~ $ xauth list

 chefli/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  5293e179bc7b2036d87cbcdf14891d0c

 chefli/unix:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  146c7f438fab79deb8a8a7df242b6f4b

 chefli.uzh.ch:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  146c7f438fab79deb8a8a7df242b6f4b

on the workstation:

 $ xauth list

 chefli/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  5293e179bc7b2036d87cbcdf14891d0c

 chefli/unix:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  146c7f438fab79deb8a8a7df242b6f4b

 localhost.localdomain/unix:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1

146c7f438fab79deb8a8a7df242b6f4b

 chefli.uzh.ch/unix:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  146c7f438fab79deb8a8a7df242b6f4b

In sshd_config on the workstation i have 'X11Forwarding yes'

I have also done

  xhost + squid_0

on the workstation.

How can i get the -xterm option running?

Thank You

 Jody
