Yade

Run Yade on a server without Display support

Asked by Steve

Hi,

I am trying to run simulations on a server via SSH. However, the server does not support display. I am getting this error from running a script:
 ImportError: Connecting to DISPLAY at Yade startup failed, unable to activate the qt4 interface.

Is there a way to suppress the GUI?

Best,
Yifan Zhu

Hi,
If you don't activate Qt in the script itself it should not be a problem. Do you see this message when just starting a yade session for instance?
Alternatively, you can simply recompile without GUI.
