salome-meca2007 ubuntu 7.10

Hi all!

I'm new in the world of salome/code_aster users.
I did not have any trouble to install the full package and Salome is working great.
I need someone to help me configuring the server/client protocol used by aster to run simulations.

I did find some help on the WEB but aster is still not working

I am using the service with a local configuration. (i did remove the domain name in the configuration of aster but i have a warning when running it)

I did install rsh-client and rsh-server

when i run a check with astk the result is :

yadoum@yadoum-laptop:/opt/SALOME-MECA-2007.1-GPL/aster/ASTK/ASTK_CLIENT/bin$ <INFO> ASTK version 1.5.2

I don't have any .rhosts in /home nor in /home/yadoum

can anyone help me ?


thanks

it's me again,

i did configure a ssh server instead of using the rsh protocol... and now the check option of astk is running without any trouble.

BUT i still have no xterm when running aster in salome : nothing happens.

is it a trouble of DIPlAY ?

thanks

Yann

thanks...

i still have troubles.

I think aster is launching the application by using an external xterminal.

for example

ssh -l loginname host xterm

is not working

but

ssh -X -l loginname host xterm

is working

I think that i have to change a setting to have it displayed.

i don't know if it is an ubuntu security option, i can't find it.

need help !

Hi all.

I spent half my night to understand what is happening... and i still have no results.

I do not find where to setup salome-meca to use the ssh protocol as mentionned in the last answer from &quot;administrator&quot;...

I did try to install the soft in the /home folder and is was worth doing it, astk does not start any more. I went back with an /opt installation...

i should have asked those questions :

is it possible to install the standalone version using ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) ?

do i have to be root to launch salome-meca installed in /opt ?

because runing postinstall.py when user is not working... I have to be root to run it (sudo command line in ubuntu)

thanks

Yann
