Problem with the build stage of the UKCA tutorial

Reported by: s1251469 Owned by: annette

Description

Hello,

I am trying to do the UKCA tutorial. I've copied the initial job and I am trying to submit it. username etc are changed.

I did the FCM tutorial a few months ago successfully. I believe the key for ssh-ing to hector became out of date. I tried redoing this by removing the old id_dsa and id_dsa.pub files and repeating the instructions as per the FCM tutorial. I can successfully ssh to hector from puma with a passphrase.

When I submit the job I get the error:
"UMATMOS base repository extract failed"

I have looked in the .out file as suggested and it seems to be a problem with permission from hector. Can you see any issues with the job?

many thanks,
Declan

Hi Declan,

For the submission to work properly you need to have ssh set up so that it doesn't prompt you for a password or passphrase. If you're being asked for a passphrase it means the ssh agent isn't running. To start it up type:

ssh-add

If this gives an error follow the instructions here:
