Caching MOSRS Password / X11 Authenication on PUMA

1

Hi,

I’m having trouble caching my MOSRS password (which works on Monsoon) on PUMA and getting access to Rosie. When I logged in this morning I got the message:

/usr/bin/xauth: unable to write authority file /home/jmw240/.Xauthority-n

before being asked to cache my password. When I cached my password, I got the message:

Subversion password cached
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: could not open display
Error: Unable to access Rosie with given password
Run “mosrs-cache-password” to try caching your password again

I removed .Xauthority and .Xauthority-n from my home directory as I thought they were the problem, logged out and logged back in. I then got the (expected) message:

/usr/bin/xauth: file /home/jmw240/.Xauthority does not exist

but when trying to cache my password, I got the same result as above.

Could you advise how I can fix this so that I can access Rosie?

Thanks for your help,

James

Hi James,

You’ve hit your puma quota.

Please clear up suites that you are no longer running from your cylc-run directory.

Cheers,
Ros

Thanks, Ros, that has done the trick.

Sorry, one further question. Has the information about converting suites to run on Archer 2 been moved to another webpage?
http://cms.ncas.ac.uk/wiki/Archer2#InitialsetupforrunningUMRoseCylcSuitesonARCHER2 no longer works and it would be great to have access to this information.

Yep - we have a new site:
