Freeview crashing on interactive compute node

1

Hi HPC team,

I am trying to work with Freeview from FreeSurfer in an interactive session. It crashes immediately upon launching and I have not been able to figure out why. At first, I got the error :slight_smile:

No matching fbConfigs or visuals found glx: failed to create drisw screen Aborted (core dumped)

But now it is just crashing with message Aborted (core dumped).

This is my command line history:

ssh -Y myusername@login1.baobab.hpc.unige.ch

salloc -n1 -c2 --partition=public-interactive-cpu --time=00:15:00 --x11

module load FreeSurfer/7.3.2-centos7_x86_64

which freeview —> /opt/ebsofts/FreeSurfer/7.3.2-centos7_x86_64/bin/freeview

and when I just try to open freeview, I get this error.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Dear @Abigail.Licata

The version you are trying is quite old, it was for CentOS7 and we are now using Rocky9.

Please give a try with the latest version we have on the cluster: FreeSurfer/7.4.1-centos8_x86_64.

As well, you may want to launch FreeView directly from OpenOnDemand using the virtual desktop.
