Error on running mfix 23.2 in Centos 7

Dear MFiX team

I installed MFiX 23.2 in Centos 7 successful according to the User Guide, but when when I try to run mfix the first time I receive the following errors:
Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
*** Error in ‘/data/software/anaconda3/envs/mfix-23.2/bin/python3.10’: free(): invalid pointer: 0x00002ae84b394b80 ***
Can anyone tell me how to solve this error? I really appreciate your help!

Hi - this is not enough information. What case are you running?
Please go to main menu, select ‘Submit bug report’ and upload the resulting ZIP file here. Thanks.

Hi, cgw, this is the same error what I replied in Error on opening mfix 23.2 in Windows(ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _mt19937) - #4 by MFiX_LYP

OK, please try to avoid creating duplicate issues, thanks.

Ok, sorry for creating the duplicate issues.

@MFiX_LYP - can you try unset SESSION_MANAGER as suggested here:

Yes, execute unset SESSION_MANAGER before running MFiX, the error Session management error will disappear, but Error in ........ python 3.10 still exists. As follows:

(mfix-23.2) [pbs@admin ~]$ unset SESSION_MANAGER
(mfix-23.2) [pbs@admin ~]$ mfix

Are you trying to run with a remote display? In that case you may need to use vglrun.

Otherwise, this looks like more of a system issue than an MFiX issue - something with your Mesa libraries - I am not able to reproduce the problem here so it’s difficult to diagnose it. If you search Google for “Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported” you will find a lot of results.

Is this your own system or a system at an institution? Are there any local experts you can consult?

This system is the school’s, remote control. Could it be because it is installed in a read-only folder?

If you are running remotely, you will need to do
“vglrun mfix”
to start MFiX.
Maybe somebody from your school can help you set this up.

OK, thanks. let me try.

This should be incompatible with the system. I installed MFiX on a virtual machine with the same system (Centos 7.3.1611) and this error still occurs during startup. However, MFiX can start normally on Ubuntu 22.04 VMS. Maybe I should replace the system.
