RE: HPC, conn remotely, salloc, slurm

Hi Alfonso!


I've got the system running fine over ThinLinc with a remote desktop on the server. The in-line "ml add PDC; ml matlab/r2024b" helped a lot there! Thanks!


But I still can't get "conn remotely" to work. I tried adding the in-line command to my local AND remote HPC "Slurm computer cluster" settings. But I'm still stuck at this line:


Requesting a new Matlab session in rasimon@dardel.pdc.kth.se. This may take a few minutes, please be patient as your job currently sits in a queue. CONN will resume automatically when the new Matlab session becomes available


Do you have any suggestions on how to debug at this point? When I run the Matlab GUI on the HPC (e.g., through ThinLinc), I need to run (something like) this command first:


salloc --ntasks=2 -t 1:00:00 -A naiss2025-22-549 -p shared --qos=normal


...where -A naiss2025-22-549 is required for my account, and then SSH -X into the node where I have allocated space to run Matlab.

Threaded View
