User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.2) Gecko/2008092318 Fedora/3.0.2-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.2 The condor keyboard daemon detects X events and vacates jobs from a workstation when a console user returns. In currently-released versions of condor, it does not work under Linux and is not built by default. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install condor. Actual Results: condor_kbdd is not installed. Expected Results: condor_kbdd should be installed and functional so that Grid installations can automatically vacate jobs from workstations with console users.
I have committed a fix for this in the upstream Condor repository; the fix is in a commit whose SHA begins with 0b2c92f.
(I should note for the sake of completeness that my fix introduces a new Condor parameter -- X_CONSOLE_DISPLAY -- which contains the display name that the kbdd should monitor. If this is not set, we default to ":0.0".)
Not sure I understand the gist of the bug but condor-kbdd is available with 7.2.0-0.13.el5. However, it still needs to be installed as its own package with a dependency on condor proper (i.e., you don't get kbdd with the main condor). [pmackinn@localhost ~]$ yum deplist condor-kbdd | grep condor *Note* Red Hat Network repositories are not listed below. You must run this command as root to access RHN repositories. RHN support will be disabled. package: condor-kbdd.x86_64 7.2.0-0.13.el5 dependency: condor = 7.2.0-0.13.el5 provider: condor.x86_64 7.2.0-0.13.el5
It's on purpose that condor-kbdd not be pulled in everywhere condor is installed
