Dear all, We would like to run the new phenix GUIs from a remote computer. Both server and clients are OSX 10.5 (leopard) and they have the same versions of software (X11, python, phenix... all them pretty new versions) When trying to do so, we invariably get this error: This program needs access to the screen. Please run with 'pythonw', not 'python', and only when you are logged in on the main display of your Mac. I have searched the internet for similar problems and I found an old (one year) unresolved question on the same/similar issue: http://www.phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2008-July/001129.html In our case, the /usr/local directory is not mounted over the NFS, it is local. As in that case, though, changing the LIBTBX_PYEXE_BASENAME to pythonw (for example in the phenix.autosol_gui wrapper) did not solve the issue. However, it is not clear to me that this variable has to be changed in a single place: it is found in many files. My question is: was this issue solved and I missed that? If not, anyone has a clue on how to solve the problem? Just to make it clear, the GUIs work perfectly locally in the server computer, that is, if not exported. Thanks a lot!

Hi Miguel, Although you referenced my earlier post, we may not be talking about the same situation. In our case, the installation is on an NFS volume, but the software runs on the local machine.

This sounds like you want to X-foward the PHENIX GUI from the server to the client, which won't work, because the phenix2 GUI is not X11-based. Cocoa applications can't be forwarded over the network, although you can use something like Apple Remote Desktop to control the application on the server.

Our issue was resolved with the next release. I didn't dig too deeply trying to figure out what the problem was. My dim recollection is that Paul mentioned they were updating to a new wxPython for that update, and I suspect that was the fix. -ben -- | Ben Eisenbraun | Software Maintainer | | Structural Biology Grid | http://sbgrid.org | | Harvard Medical School | http://hms.harvard.edu |
Thanks Ben and sorry for the misunderstanding. In fact, I thought that the new GUIs were still going through X11... Yep, it works with remote desktop, but this way we are limited to a single user at a time... Thanks a lot! Miguel Le 24 juil. 09 à 17:04, Ben Eisenbraun a écrit :
