Salome on an multiuser linux machine

Hello,

it's possible to deploy and use Salome on a linux machine that is accessed by multiple users at the same time?

Kind regards

Cristiano

Hello Cristiano,

of course. Users require Read access to the SALOME installation, but otherwise there is no issue.

Best regards,

Gregor

Hi Gregor,

on my 2019 installation, when a second user logs in and start Salome I get this error:

runSalome running on linuxmu01

Process Process-1:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I will try with 2020

Kind regards

Strange. I remember that I had no issues with SALOME 8.5.0 or I do not remember it. I assume you are using SALOME_meca?

Scouring the release notes, the issue you have was fixed with SALOME 9.4.0 (SALOME_meca 2019 has SALOME 9.3.0). So yes, try the 2020 version.

Best regards,

Gregor
