External Email - Use Caution
Hi Freesurfer team,
I have Freesurfer installed on UCSD's Expanse HPC, which uses the Rocky Linux 8 operating system. Whenever we try to do ssh tunneling and more specifically, logging into our HPC via ssh -X to open up Freeview's GUI, it always aborts. Prior to logging into my HPC from my Mac laptop's terminal, I always open up XQuartz. Another colleague of mine has also encountered similar issues, where they have managed to get X11 and Xeyes to run, but also Freeview's window keeps aborting.
We have also tried to follow instructions from the following links when it comes to getting ssh tunneling to work correctly in hopes of making Freeview's GUI pop up:

If we operate from a Mac computer, is it better to use a VNC or XQuartz for ssh tunneling? In addition, can we find an error log in Freesurfer's directory to find out exactly why Freeview keeps aborting in our circumstance?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Yilei
