Hello,

I have the same problem. I want to launch a job on a LSF batch farm. I’m logging to it with ssh -Y, since it doesn’t work with ssh -X. In both cases I have :

Error in TGClient::TGClient: can’t open display “lxi002.gsi.de:10.0”, switching to batch mode…
In case you run from a remote ssh session, reconnect with ssh -Y

Would you have a clue about what’s happening?

Thanks a lot!!

Hi,

Maybe I am missing something, but if you are running jobs on a batch farm (e.g., in some sort of queuing system), then you almost certainly want to be running in batch mode.

Cheers,

Thank you … with a little delay. It finally worked fine in the mean time now :wink:
