Hi,

I’ve been unable to load any GUIs on JASMIN since yesterday.  
As usual, I log in with  
`ssh -AXY kieran@login1.jasmin.ac.uk`  
and then onto sci[1-8] from there. However, attempting to load anything with a window (e.g. xterm) gives the X11 error:  
`connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X1009: No such file or directory`  
`xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:13.0`

Nothing has changed from the way I usually do things, and windows that were loaded before yesterday still function fine, so I’m at a bit of a loss!

Thanks,  
Kieran

This seems to have resolved itself at some point yesterday, so I’m happy to close this ticket.
