I have not seen this. What is your X-windows display software?
Can you run the command xclock from the Linux command line? Does
it put a clock on your screen?
The DISPLAY environment variables needs to be set; see the Ferret
installation guide. It seems that you do have that, since Ferret
is putting up a window, but for some reason is not drawing to it.
Dear Ferret users,
I used to be able to plot any of the variables in my netcdf
files without any issue. But I recently changed my desktop to a
newer version of Linux, which is Scientific Linux
2.6.32-573.26.1.el6.x86_64 and the graphical interface is GNOME
2.28.2 (see attached).
Since then, I can open ferret, use a netcdf file, but I can't
display anything (see attached). It seems that there is a bug in
the graphical display on newer linux versions.
The IT people here in my research centre claim the answer to
this problem is not in their hands, but that conversely it is
something that only Ferret developers can solve.
Do you have any idea of how to solve or bypass this problem?
Did anyone experience a similar thing?
Please let me know if I need to provide more information.
Kind regards,
Maxime.
