HI, thanks for pointing out the typo.
Is there something wrong with using the fastx web portal? That gives you a full desktop in the browser and should give you the best performance. Just go to either eofe7.mit.edu or eofe8.mit.edu in a browser.
A few points:
- The fastx server is installed. We are running fastx 2.4.16. You appear to be using fastx3 client?
- The path to sci for fastx2 is /usr/bin
- The port for the web portal is 3443. Not sure if you need to use 22 or 3443 for the desktop client. fastx documentation suggests you use 3443.
- The easiest way to get the desktop client to work is to connect to the webportal. Add a session (+) in upper right corner. Choose web. Name the session. Use eofe8.mit.edu:3443 for the url, add your user name. A popup similar to the web page port will ask you to upload your ssh private key (not ppk) and then you should be able to establish a connection. This option will not require using pagent.

Thanks for the point about FastX 2 -- I'd just been using the most recent version available from IS&T. I've now installed FastX 2. Unfortunately it is still not working, see below.
Regarding port/path to sci, what I used there were default settings for FastX 3 on Win10. FastX 2 appears to explicitly ask for Sci, but I have no file/folder bin/sci
on windows.
Now using FastX 2 (build 2.4.16) and attempting access through the web portal. I added my (non .ppk
) private key, the same one I use with my general ssh-agent. When I attempt to access eofe7.mit.edu
I am prompted to login. Entering my password, I get the following message (on the login page):
Agent pid 47560 {"result":{"url":"http://localhost:3000/","token":"a9ad04a8-04d1-45ed-9b73-73b6983bd243"}}
If I open another tab and try to access eofe7.mit.edu
I see the web portal. On attempting to run an XFCE session, I get two errors:
Unable to contact settings server
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-FhKSNTsLyh: Connection refused
and
Unable to load a failsafe session
Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes:
xfconfd isn't running ( D-Bus setup problem);
environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/ etc"), or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly.
Google has a couple of hits on these errors, but all with unix solutions --- nothing for Win10. Any other ideas what I could try?
