Hi Z K,

Yes I am sure as I have tried the same MPRGAE image on all 16 PCs. The one installed with the latest freesurfer version did not work while others finished the processing in a reasonable processing time and I got the results.

Also, I have a PC at my office installed with the latest freesurfer version and it works fine. So I have two PCs installed with the latest Freesurfer (one of them which does not work is in the lab). 


To summarize:
All PCs (16 PCs in the lab and 1 in my office) are installed with latest Ubuntu version 14.04 64 bits 
15 PCs in the lab are installed with freesurfer 5.0.0 version
1 PC in the lab is installed with the latest freesurfer version (does not work, permission denied)
1 PC in my office is installed with the latest freesurfer version (works fine)

All these PCs have Ubuntu 14.04 64bit installed on them.



No, I am not using any vitual machine.

Regarding the root user, I will try it on Sunday as I am away for a couple of days.

Many thanks for your continuous support.

Ali

Ali,

First, are you ABSOLUTELY sure the PCs running freesurfer v5.0 are
working properly? I am under the impression that versions of freesurfer
pre-version 5.3 will not work on newer linux distributions?


In regards to your current permision denied issue... What happens if you
try and run tkmedit as root user? Also, you not using virtual machine
setup are you?
