I when I use  Emacs in an interactive session started with salloc like this, for example: salloc -n 1 -t 5:00:00 --mem-per-cpu=4000 --x11 a bunch of messages like this are spit out in the terminal window: (emacs:2105): dconf-CRITICAL **: 17:40:01.497: unable to create directory '/run/user/412

This is most likely because your XDG* environment variables are being copied into the job environment. We do the following in our taskprolog script echo "unset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" echo "unset XDG_SESSION_ID" echo "unset XDG_DATA_DIRS" -- Paul Raines (http://help.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) On We

I can't immediately check what I do with Slurm but in several systemd files I create sub folders of /var/run and set their ownership the same as the service will run under. I use CentOS (for now!). I can post an actual service startup file in daylight if useful. William On Wed, 17 Mar 2021,

After installing SLURM in Ubuntu and before starting the services, I do: mkdir -p /var/spool/slurmd mkdir -p /var/lib/slurm-llnl mkdir -p /var/lib/slurm-llnl/slurmd mkdir -p /var/lib/slurm-llnl/slurmctld mkdir -p /var/run/slurm-llnl (You need to change this to /run/slurm-llnl as your location for

I am guessing you aren't overly familiar with Linux/systemd since you have the '&' at the end of your start command. Be that as it may, you can see it is a permissions issue. Check permissions on /run and ensure the slurmctld user is able to write there. You can either change the slurmctld us
