Launching a visualisation container without superuser rights

If you do not have superuser rights on your machine, you may have problems authorising graphical feedback from view containers. To solve this problem, you can use the xhost command (to add a hostname to the list of machines that are allowed to connect to X) via the :

ssh +SI:localhost:<username> # to connect to the Dahu cluster, for example

Once you have finished using the container, we recommend that you restore your session to its original behaviour using the command xhost -SI:localhost:<username>.

Note

At the moment, this problem has only been reported for sessions based on wayland. Consequently, the proposed solution could only be tested in this particular case. If you encounter this problem under other conditions and/or the above solution does not work for you, please report it.
