Hello,

I have a question about real.exe and wrf.exe; When I do "./real.exe." or "./wrf.exe" inside the directory "/home/mani/WRF-4.2.1/test/em_real" where I've got my test case setup, I get the mesage that "Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key" - however all the other steps (ungrib, geogrid, etc) work ok (without this message). The commands "./real.exe." and "./wrf.exe" work ok as well (they just show that invalid key message). When I try "xauth list" I get 2 "MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1"s; I have also tried "xauth remove :1" (the value of my $DISPLAY is :1) which removes these two keys, but then I get "No protocol specified" (rather than "Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key").

I would greatly appreciate it, if you could help me with this.

Cheers,
Mani
 
Mani,
I am pretty sure this is an issue related to specific environment settings of your machine. Please talk to your computer manage and figure out what is wrong.
 
Hi Ming,

Thanks for the reply; I am running these commands on the Ubuntu installed on my own PC. I tried to look over the internet for the solution (I did so very extensively), but could not solve my problem. The problem seems somewhat peculiar, as it does not happen with the geogrid, ungrib or metgrid, but happens with the real.exe and wrf.exe.

I am still looking for a solution.

Mani
