@eliotVRIJ ... in order for each user to have their own DISPLAY variable. Or else edit the /Applications/IRAF.app/Contents/MacOS/IRAF script to allow a $DISPLAY in the end to override. 3/3
@eliotVRIJ OTOH, if by 'display' you mean the XGTerm window for each user, then again the https://t.co/fQZqN4WtAA is forcing the DISPLAY=:0 for both users. You'd have to make a copy of the https://t.co/fQZqN4WtAA and edit the startup script to set a different DISPLAY 2/
@eliotVRIJ If by 'display' you mean as in 'to DS9', then yes it's expected that both https://t.co/fQZqN4X1q8 would try to write to the single DS9. That's because the display socket or fifo is the same, the unix socket would be different between users though. 1/
@eliotVRIJ Otherwise, user #2 will get DISPLAY=:1 if another XQuartz is running, but https://t.co/fQZqN4X1q8 is trying to display to :0. In future I'll try to make the DISPLAY setting take this into account to allow multiple user https://t.co/fQZqN4X1q8 starts. 2/2
@eliotVRIJ The https://t.co/fQZqN4X1q8 assumes a single user and sets DISPLAY=:0 in all cases. If #1 has X running it has the DISPLAY & if #2 starts IRAF the XGTerm will appear on #1's display if the 'xhost +' allows connections. 1/
One month after the launch of NOIRLab IRAF v2.18, we've had 1142 unique users from 50 different countries visiting https://t.co/W684bccdEF, with almost 3000 views! The software has been downloaded over 500 times, with about 2/3 using the macOS version. @NOIRLabScience@irafnet
@usngo Just a little weekend fun running IRAF in a web browser and sharing the session in real-time with collaborators. Still some work to do to make it a thing .....
Seeing it as “competition” is a choice, calling it a “fork” is wrong, but public trashing of another project is just unprofessional and does nothing to encourage cooperation.
Have you installed it yet? Check https://t.co/sXA7cPDXri for download instructions and let us know if you have any issues. Thank you for the feedback so far. We are working on your comments! @GeminiObs@NOIRLabScience
@OleStreicher Build scripts will be pushed to the repos once they're stable, the switch to GitLab means the build isn't yet completely automated from the various repos. For now, just emulate what's on the DMG (but with new background images).
