The qstat command defaults to showing the status of all jobs. However, to view the status of just your own or another user's jobs, one can pass the '-u' flag to qstat. So, to see the status of jobs submitted by user jdoe:

"Could not connect to

session bus" when connecting to Argon using FastX version 2

:

When connecting to Argon with FastX version 2 to open a Desktop such as MATE session, sometime you get may see an error saying "cannot Could not connect to the bus session". This happens particularly if you have installed Anaconda to work with Jupyter on the cluster. Anaconda changes the .bashrc file with the PATH settings and causes the problem in first place. There is a fix available for this particularChange your PATH variable in .bashrc session bus: Failed to connect to socket" while starting a graphical desktop such as MATE. The most common cause of this issue on Argon is that you have installed Anaconda using its default settings. Anaconda's installer configures your ~/.bashrc file to automatically activate Anaconda during the login process. But the installer also gives priority to Anaconda software, and because Anaconda includes software which interferes with graphical logins, its presence causes them to fail with this error.

In older versions of Anaconda, the installer simply adds its own path at the start of the PATH variable, so you can work around the problem by moving its path to the end, thus giving Anaconda software lower priority. That is, edit your ~/.bashrc to change the definition like so:

FROM:

No Format
languagenone
export PATH="/Users/YOURHAWKID/anaconda2/bin:$PATH”

...

No Format
languagenone
export PATH="$PATH:/Users/YOURHAWKID/anaconda2/bin”

The most important change is to take the $PATH variable at the end to the beginning of the PATH settingMore recent versions of Anaconda configure activation in your ~/.bashrc using a very different mechanism, and a fix analogous to the above is less convenient. In this case, you can leave that configuration in place so that Anaconda itself becomes active during login, but reconfigure Anaconda so that the default "base" environment is not automatically activated during login. You can use the standard conda commands in your shell session or job script to activate any environment when you need to use it.
