Python 3.6.5 with matplotlib not running well in sbatch about lessons HOT 3 OPEN

You should try to not complicated the batch runs with trying to use display - this is asking for trouble. I would save data / results needed to generate the plots instead, and then generate them in a (non batch) interactive job.

Hi vsoch,
Thank you for your answer. I am afraid that is exactly what I will have to do. I was just hoping there was a simple solution to that problem to make my life easier :-).

hey @ygmayor I've been there! The only way I would get display working to display graphics on a node like that is to use xvirtual frame buffer (xvfb). But honestly, what that does is make your pipeline much more error prone. So it's good to abide by the idea of keeping things as simple as possible. The node is optimized to run the analysis, but not for graphics, so you run the analysis there. The graphics are better created in an interactive session, and so you should do it there. If you are a Stanford affiliate you can try to use ondemand and jupyter notebooks that could be an easy way to connect to your data on the cluster too.
