No rating yet Subject: Problem with X when working remotely Author: Steven Isaacs Date: 2002-06-07 09:55:00I wonder if anyone can help me with this problem, which seems to be only occurring with Ansys. I am using Ansys on Linux. Since there are currently two licenses available for me to use, but not so much space on my desk, I would like to use one of the licenses via a remote log on (ssh) from my desk pc to the remote pc.
All works fine initially. Ansys starts up, I see the correct things on the screen, and I even can see the very first object (for example a rectangle) that I create. But then things go wrong; I can erase the screen, but things do not get displayed like they should. If I draw several rectangles and try to move around with dynamic view, I see line plots which do not erase. And other plots (area, keypoints, etc.) do not work.
Everything works fine if I connect remotely to the same machine from a Windows machine using an Xserver (WinAxe) on the Windows machine. But I cannot understand why this goes wrong with a Linux to Linux connection.
Anyone understand this and can give a tip?
I am using either Ansys 6.0 or Ansys 6.1 (same results), and there is no problem when running Ansys locally on the Linux machine.
