CANFAR Science Platform FAQ

  • My session is stuck in the Pending state - This can imply that the platform is unable to launch your image. There are a number of potential causes:

    • Often skaha fails to authorize you to https://images.canfar.net due to an expired CLI Secret. Try resetting this value by logging into https://images.canfar.net (using the OIDC Login button), going to your User Profile, and updating your CLI Secret. Once done you should delete the Pending session and try launching it again.
    • If the image is proprietary and the CLI Secret update did not work, check with your project administrator to ensure you have been granted access to the project in https://images.canfar.net
    • The session could be in a Pending state waiting for resources so that it can be scheduled.
    • More information about the reason for the Pending state can be found using the logging mechanisms explained in Programmatic Access.
  • How do I test a graphical container on my Mac?

  1. Enable "Allow connections from network clients" in XQuartz settings. Relaunch XQuartz.

  2. In terminal execute

     > xhost + 127.0.0.1
    
  3. Launch docker run with the option

     -e DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0
