Problem running GrADS on Ubuntu 9.10

Varun,

You can secure shell into the server from home and add the -X option.

ssh -X your_9.10_server

See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/attachments/20090516/4f98cc41/attachment.txt for more information on tunneling X11 through ssh.

Hello John,
 Thanks a lot for helping me out with this.

 I think the problem is because of a firewall. When I ran grads on 9.04, I was at home, whereas I was at work when I ran it on 9.10.And we are behind a proxy firewall at work. I did not think of this angle at all.

 Is there a way to specify the Network settings within GrADS (proxy server name,username,pwd) ? Or should I be talking to the Network Administrator at work to  figure out how to go about this?

Thanks again for helping out with this.

Regards,
 Varun Murthy

PS: I will get the ldd on grads when I reach work and see if something is amiss.

Jennifer, sorry, I still cannot send email to the GrADS list,

Request a ldd on grads from his system. My grads runs on both 8.04 and 8.10. Here is my ldd on Ubuntu 8.10,

linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7faa000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7e98000)
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7e68000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7e41000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7ce3000)
libxcb-xlib.so.0 => /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 (0xb7ce0000)
libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0xb7cc7000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7cc3000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f90000)
libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb7cc0000)
libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb7cba000)

Also, ask if Varun has a firewall operating which will block port 6000.

John

Subject: Problem running GrADS on Ubuntu 9.10

Hello all,
 I am a beginner, learning to use GrADS. I installed GrADS 2.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 and tried out the tutorial available online (http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html) and everything worked out fine.

 I upgraded my Ubuntu installation to 9.10 and repeated the installation (place the tar file in /usr/local/bin and extract) using the same tar.gz file. But when I ran the display command after running grads, the graphic display window remains blank.

Terminal output :
ga-> d p  (Where p is one of the variables, defined in the control file)
Contouring: 0 to 0.0008 interval 0.0001
but graphic display window remains blank.

Is GrADS not supported for Ubuntu 9.10? Or are there any libraries that need to be installed before GrADS can be run?

Version Details:
1) Version of GrADS : GrADS 2.0.a7.1
2) OS : Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit
3) GrADS "q config" output:
ga-> q config
Config: v2.0.a7 little-endian readline printim grib2 netcdf hdf4-sds hdf5 geotiff
