Hi, We installed a new slurm version and it returns "command not found" for seff. I do not remember doing any manual installation for the previous versions, I thought it was coming with sacct, sbatch, ect... Any idea how I would need to set it up? I read online seff is actually a perl script. Bes

Nick, Presuming you have followed the SchedMD instructions, you should be able to get a session in your login container: kubectl --namespace=slurm exec -it statefulsets/slurm-controller -- bash --login From there, you can do any standard testing you like. Simple 'srun hostname' should work

Hi, I was wondering whether there is any integration testing done on the containers and the operator published under the slinky project. Or asked differently, once I have deployed slinky, what tests should I run to confirm that the cluster is working as intended? Thanks! Nick -- slurm-users ma

I third the suggestion to use OnDemand. FWIW, OnDemand uses VNC under the hood, so performance is identical to that, and the user experience is much, much better. Plain VNC is marginally easier for the administrator to set up: choose if you prefer doing a bit more administration work or (a little o

Stupid reply. Reverse name resolution. But surely that would only affect the initial setup of a connection not the data stream. I suggest strace of a graphical application on a computer node. You might be able to spot where any hangs are On Fri, Jun 6, 2025, 3:57 PM Simon Andrews via slurm-users

Thanks for the suggestions – some interesting links to read. We already have an option to run graphical sessions from the head node using Apache Guacamole which works well, but that still requires X11 to talk to the compute nodes. We don’t have a full desktop stack on the compute nodes and jus

It may or may not be an appropriate solution for your use cases, but I second using Open OnDemand and its virtual desktop. It is FAR more performant than X11 through Slurm/SSH. *Jason L. Simms, Ph.D., M.P.H.* Research Computing Manager Swarthmore College Information Technology Services (610) 328-8

On our cluster we've noticed that if we use the native x11 slurm plugin (PrologFlags=x11) then X applications work, but are really slow and unresponsive. Even opening menus on graphical application is painfully slow. On the same system if I do a direct ssh connection with ssh -YC from the head
