[phenixbb] Re: phenix install/splash screen issue

Hi Doeke, I got the GUI to work over VNC using ThinLinc at NERSC. The check used to work in Python 2 because comparing against None was allowed. I updated the code to skip the check if any value is None since it's not so crucial. I'll make another build available tomorrow. Let us know if you find any other issues. Thanks! -- Billy K.

Hi Billy,

Correct, I’m using a remote desktop (open on demand, via vnc).

Hi Doeke,

Are you running over X or via a virtual desktop? I just tested over X and the GUI shows up. I'm going to try a remote desktop next.

The issue is that the GUI is unable to calculate some limit for placing windows.

Hi, After an ostensibly error-free installation of phenix-2.0-5716 on linux within an HPC environment, when starting the Phenix GUI, I get the following error:

==== The same error occurred with phenix-2.0-5716 (both using the Linux-x86_64 installer).

Could you please advise?
