Re: [Condor-users] Unable to use visible desktop

["Michael O'Donnell" <odonnellm@xxxxxxxx>]

Shruti,

I am not expert, but a couple things
come to mind. I would check that your R program is not generating any graphs
or using windows(). The error "Create_Process:
Unable to use visible desktop"
suggests that the program is requiring input or graphics, which cannot
be used on Windows, which runs in a non-interactive window station environment.
Because some jobs have run, this is likely not the problem, but you might
check this. I generally also use sink in R to create log files, which can
help with debugging applications like this. I don't have enough experience
with Condor to understand all the logging messages, but maybe these points
will help you.
