If I need whole brain Gray matter (GM) volume, can I add just left GM and Right GM volumes after runing mris_anatomical_stats on ?h.cortex.label (in the label directory). I appreciate your suggestions. Thanks, Deepa Ramasamy.

RE: [Freesurfer] tksurfer display broken: fixed

Jenifer, I see you have this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: Section "Module" Load "glx" EndSection Others having the recent tksurfer problem should make sure they have these lines as well, as tksurfer uses glx. Also, fyi, you can get a higher display resolution than the default. Try changing this line: Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" to something like this: Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" It will use the first mode in the list, and if that doesnt work, it will try the next one. You can delete ones that dont work. In other words, put your desired resolution first in the list.

tksurfer display broken: fixed
by Juranek, Jenifer 30 May '08

30 May '08

Not exactly sure how or what happened...but did manage to "fix" my tksurfer display problem. Since others on the list had reported similar problems, I thought I'd post what I did to "fix" the problem. Since I'm not a Linux guru, my "fix" is probably just a "bandaid"...but it did work...and hopefully the info provides some assistance to others. Just to note the following particulars of my system: RHEL5 (DELL Precision 690n box went live April 16, 2008) Linux_x86_64 architecture 2 kernels: drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 May 9 13:50 2.6.18-53.1.19.el5-x86_64 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 May 27 15:02 2.6.18-92.el5-x86_64 NVIDIA Quadro Fx 3450/4000 SDI Driver Version 1.0-9746 "Friendly" software also installed on the same box=fslv404 MATLAB r2008a is also installed (currently running -lgi on bert...I'll update on the outcome of this "friendliness" test) As of yesterday, had several possible scenarios outlined: 1) rpm -e dell-nvidia-rhel5-169.12-1dkms.x86_64.rpm rpm -ivh dell-nvidia-9746-7dkms.x86_64.rpm --> should return to a well-behaved (albeit "older") nvidia driver...same as "out of the box" 2) restore original "out of the box" settings for entire system via /usr/var/dell/reinstall.sh --> should return ALL system settings to original "out of the box"...good for freesurfer and fsl apps but not so good for matlab... 3) boot into older kernel (I apparently have a total of 2 listed in /usr/src/kernels) [root@localhost kernels]# ls -l total 16 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 May 9 13:50 2.6.18-53.1.19.el5-x86_64 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 May 27 15:02 2.6.18-92.el5-x86_64 I attempted (1) first. However, the driver was not well-behaved for bert (tkmedit or tksurfer). I attempted (3) second. However, no change in behavior. While tarballing to prepare for (3)...since everything worked perfectly fine right out of the box -- before Matlab and before any package updates...I found my *original* /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (from April 16) and cp it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf & rebooted. RESULTS: Was *very* happy to see tksurfer & tkmedit behave properly for bert. Proper behavior for tksurfer & tkmedit was observed in both kernels (after the xorg.conf file replacement). Still waiting to see if matlab behaves for bert's -lgi. I diff'd the "original" xorg.conf with the "broken" one and the following lines were returned: Hope this helps others find their "bandaid" solution to get them up and running again.

SELinux AVC denial: Matlab
by Juranek, Jenifer 30 May '08

30 May '08

While trying to check if -lgi will run on bert (on RHEL5,fsv404 and matlab r2008a), I received the following message from SELinux (please see summary below): Sorry to be so cautious, but do I change to allow_execheap boolean? The system-wide impact statement makes me a little nervous... Many thanks for any advice you can provide, Jenifer Summary: SELinux is preventing MATLAB from changing the access protection of memory on the heap. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was permitted due to permissive mode.] The MATLAB application attempted to change the access protection of memory on the heap (e.g., allocated using malloc). This is a potential security problem. Applications should not be doing this. Applications are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission. The SELinux Memory Protection Tests (http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to remove this requirement. If MATLAB does not work and you need it to work, you can configure SELinux temporarily to allow this access until the application is fixed. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package. Allowing Access: If you want MATLAB to continue, you must turn on the allow_execheap boolean. Note: This boolean will affect all applications on the system. The following command will allow this access: setsebool -P allow_execheap=1 Additional Information: Source Context root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh Target Context root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh Target Objects None [ process ] Source MATLAB Source Path /usr/local/MATLAB_R2008a/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB Port <Unknown> Host localhost.localdomain Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-137.el5 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Permissive Plugin Name allow_execheap Host Name localhost.localdomain Platform Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Thu 29 May 2008 01:55:19 PM CDT Last Seen Thu 29 May 2008 01:55:19 PM CDT Local ID 547d8303-5b60-4883-adc1-5da588da0b2a Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=localhost.localdomain type=AVC msg=audit(1212087319.314:56): avc: denied { execheap } for pid=9538 comm="MATLAB" scontext=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process host=localhost.localdomain type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1212087319.314:56): arch=c000003e syscall=10 success=yes exit=0 a0=68d4000 a1=553 a2=7 a3=3 items=0 ppid=9460 pid=9538 auid=0 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=pts5 ses=1 comm="MATLAB" exe="/usr/local/MATLAB_R2008a/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB" subj=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)

Autorecon1 and combining data from different sessions
by Damian Jenkins 30 May '08

30 May '08

I have two sets of images, one collected at timepoint 1 and one at timepoint 2, for each patient and control in an MS study. I am now trying to run autorecon1 on this data, at the same time attempting to form a combined model fit. I am using the following script: for subject in ***; do if [ ! -f $SUBJECTS_DIR/$subject-1/mri/brainmask.mgz ]; then fsl_sub -q short.q -a lx24-amd64 -l ../group_study/logs recon-all -i $subject/00/struct_noneck.nii.gz -i $subject/02/struct_noneck.nii.gz -subjid $subject-1 -autorecon1 -force The following error message is generated for the around half of the subjects, yet there seems to be nothing especially different between the ones that work and the ones that fail. error reading from file /Volumes/Data/magnims/group_study/P21-1/mri/tmp-mri_motion_correct.fsl-8454/cor-2.img mri_average: MRIread(/Volumes/Data/magnims/group_study/P21-1/mri/tmp-mri_motion_correct.fsl-8454/cor-2.img) failed Any ideas?
