FAQ
In the following, My refers to the self-service GenOuest web site https://my.genouest.org.
I asked for an account but it is not yet created
After registration, you should have received an email with a link to validate your email. Once this is done, your account is pending approval by our team. This operation may take a few days, so please be patient. Once validated you will receive an email with your new, temporary, password and have access to our services.
After registration, I cannot login to My
Check carefully the password written in the confirmation email...
Also avoid copy/paste as extra characters may be copied (spaces for example). Try writing the password manually.
After successful login, do not forget to change your password with a password of your choice (long and complex enough).
I cannot connect to your services
If your credentials fail on Galaxy, Cesgo, etc, test at first your credentials on My.
If it succeeds on My, it may be a service problem and you can create a support ticket (by writing to support@genouest.org).
If it fail son My, it means that you forgot your password.
In this case, connect to My, fill your login identifier and select the "Lost your password" option.
I have a "cannot execute xxx" error on cluster
Check that you are not connected to one of our connection frontend (also known as "bastion server") like genossh.genouest.org
.
Bastions are for connection/access only. To execute a software you need to connect to a compute node, see slurm usage help page.
Some files from the cluster are not refreshed in data-access
There can be some synchronizing problem between the cluster storage and data-access, especially for directories containing many files or subdirectories.
The easiest solution (until we find a better one), is to delete the mount point in data-access:
go to Parameters
, then Storage
, at the top right.
Then to recreate the mount point, connect to My, and click on the Details
tab, then click on the Update
button in the Data-access section.
