OPS Monday Day shift start
TITLE: 12/08 Day Shift: 1530-0030 UTC (0730-1630 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Planned Engineering // Earthquake
OUTGOING OPERATOR: None
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: LARGE_EQ
QUICK SUMMARY:
- I can't connect to ODC_OBSERVATORY_MODE to run the alog script
- We're getting hit by a 7.6 from Japan, and there was a 7.0 from Alaska on Saturday
- A few ISI are tripped, BS ITMY
When I try to run an ndscope I get the following error:
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.
Aborted
*I think I was trying to launch ndscope in a terminal that I was sshed into a different computer/env*
As a follow up note. Ndscope is working for Ryan, we are not entirely sure what the issue was, maybe the console was in a strange conda environment. When we looked at it, ndscope started fine.
