[ase-users] ASE GUI problem

[Selvaratnam, Balaranjan]

Dear Hasan,

I think you are running this in a ssh session without X-forwarding. If you run this in your local computer (desktop/laptop with ASE installed), you should be able to see the atoms.

Thank you
Bala

Subject: [ase-users] ASE GUI problem

Hello,

I have been trying to run this code using ASE:


import numpy as np

from ase import *

import os, sys

from ase import io

from ase.io<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fase.io%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cbalaranjan.selvaratn%40coyotes.usd.edu%7C34bbdefe6833421b2aaf08d7f8f8b80b%7C9c36a7d0bf7b49919b78be91a52f0226%7C0%7C0%7C637251619439551733&sdata=8UAxItgLY3LQQAQr0OL%2FIJiXoz5%2BeDcETHbm24r32ss%3D&reserved=0> import read

from ase.io<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fase.io%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cbalaranjan.selvaratn%40coyotes.usd.edu%7C34bbdefe6833421b2aaf08d7f8f8b80b%7C9c36a7d0bf7b49919b78be91a52f0226%7C0%7C0%7C637251619439551733&sdata=8UAxItgLY3LQQAQr0OL%2FIJiXoz5%2BeDcETHbm24r32ss%3D&reserved=0> import write

from ase.visualize import view

atoms = io.read('POSCAR')

view(atoms)





I get the following error message:



ase: error: TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

To get a full traceback, use: ase -T gui ...



And when i do "ase -T gui" I get:



"_tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable"



 Also, I do log in using "ssh -X ..."



Any ideas?



Thank you,



Hasan
