CAE Linux 2009 <INFO> Domain name not defined for local host

Hi,

the message "<INFO> Domain name not defined for localhost." is normal and should not be a problem when running Aster locally...

but you may have problem with the SSH configuration.

Could you try this:
1) remove domain name in both Ubuntu and ASTK config. REBOOT
2) open a terminal and do the following (if asked for an OpenSSH passphrase, leave it blank)
[code:1]
ssh $HOSTNAME "ls -l"
[/code:1]
Normally, this command should not ask you for a password and will list the content of your home directory.
If it works, it means that SSH is properly configured.

Then delete the ASTK configuration files
[code:1]
rm -rf .astkrc*
[/code:1]

Make sure that the ASTK server is properly configured:
[code:1]
sudo gedit /opt/aster/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/conf/config
[/code:1]
and search for a line containing "noeud: "
it should normally be: "noeud: your_host_name"
If not change it accordingly & save the file.

Finally run ASTK; don't worry about the message "Domaine name not defined", do not change the configuration. In ASTK, try to see if it has properly detected your "server" (=your machine name).

Run the solver with your example problem...
if you see an error, go in the Help => "Message window" and try to report some more details about the error ...
