Hello..

I Was attempting the steps in the guide : https://devcloud.intel.com/oneapi/get_started/renderingToolkitSamples/

It Went smoothly till i ran :

/opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver -otp

I Ran in it DevCloud.. I Have Client Installed in my Windows

But I get this error

u219941@login-2:~$ /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver -otp
-bash: /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver: No such file or directory
u219941@login-2:~$

Whats Wrong ?

Hi @eratron ,

Thanks for the interest and the link/reference.

Unfortunately, the VNC section of that documentation is targeted toward the beta timeframe of IDC and VNC forwarding is no longer available. New document owners are resolving that documentation.

Onboarding alternatives:

A local install to run GUI apps
Non-GUI
- Rendering Toolkit Learning path jupyter notebooks running on Intel Developer Cloud
  - Intel Developer Cloud Console
  - Intel Developer Cloud Console Training
- Getting Started Samples that run with the oneAPI distribution of Rendering Toolkit download
- Using headless (batch) mode of an application like OSPRay Studio

A previous user observed some similar issues... if you happen to run VNCserver on your own (non-Developer Cloud) environment, locally for any reason, I provided some tips in that thread.

If the above alternatives don't help resolve your issue, can you describe your goal? Perhaps we can find another, non-VNC, path.

Note the similar thread from this morning.

Thanks,

-MichaelC

Is there any way that I can access the GUI of DevCloud Now ? I would like to use GUI application in DevCloud.. It would be fine if i could access it in Vnc or anyother thing...

Hi @eratron,

Unfortunately, there is no windowing nor GUI software available from developer cloud. Thus for IRTK GUI features of programs like ospExamples, vklExamples, ospStudio, and embree gui based programs, you'll need to run those on a system you administrate.

Note that ospStudio does have a headless (GUIless), batch mode available via command line toggle.
