Mate Desktop in a Singularity container?

[jeff.ohrstrom]

Do you run GridEngine by any chance? module is a function in an /etc/profile.d file. Some folks have had to add . ~/.bashrc (load a users .bashrc)

Along with script_wrapper we also provide header. that is a header.

  header: | 
    #!/bin/bash
    . ~/.bashrc

You can see this topic for similar issue.

Module not found launching Desktop

Boston University uses SGE and we also ran into this problem. Our script_wrapper begins with: set +o posix This tells /bin/sh to behave like /bin/bash and allows process substitution to work. It also looks like the module command isn’t defined. To deal with that you might also need to add: . /etc/bashrc What we actually do is add this: . ~/.bashrc which sources /etc/bashrc but also brings in some user settings (umask in particular). hope this helps. –Mike Dugan
