Unable to open ROOT browser in v6.34.04 on lxplus

[ChilufyaM]

Hello,
I’m trying to open an RBrowser on lxplus by starting root with “root --web”, but nothing pops. When I try to turn off the web (–web=off), it doesn’t work either. In both cases, I set batch mode to false. However, in the latter case, batch mode is turned back on when I call the TBrowser. Is there anything I could be missing?
Screenshots for both use cases are attached. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @ChilufyaM,

Since your question is related to the web version of ROOT, I believe @linev can assist you.

Did you use ‘ssh -X’ to connect ?

Hi, yes I did.

Hi,

1. Try ssh -Y for login to lxplus. And be sure that display configured on your shell where you invoke ssh.

2. Before starting ROOT check that DISPLAY shell variable correctly set.

3. Just try any X11 application like xeyes to check that all X11 configurations are correct.

Or you can use better solution with rootssh script. It allows to execute ROOT application on remote node like lxplus and show user interface in local web browser. Please check this page:

ROOT 7

Hello,
Thank you for your help. I didn’t think about it much earlier, but my display is indeed the problem.
Everything works fine when I ssh to lxplus from the Xquartz terminal.
