Ubuntu's 8.04 PVM crashes on "add" action

**Bingulim** · October 30th, 2008

Hello to everyone.

I am trying to use PVM with Ubuntu but I am unable to add any host.

Every time I make an

Code:

pvm> add host_name

I get this:

Code:

add host_name
Terminated

And get to the console back.

In the remote machine, if I try to enter the pvm console - using the pvm command - I get a message telling me that:

Code:

pmvd already running

and the terminal get stuck with just the cursor blinking at me. After a while - some minutes - I get my terminal back.

First I though that there was something wrong with the package provided by the repositories but the same error occurs using the compiled by hand version.

Here is pmvl.1000 file from the local host (which tried the add):

Code:

Hi
Sorry for bumping the thread, but I just figured this out for myself!

Here is your problem (from the log on the master):

Code:

rohan (127.0.1.1:41133) LINUX 3.4.5

The master needs to have a node-name that is routable by the slaves. So that should probably be its fully-qualified domain name. You can force this to be its node-name by starting the pvm console like this:

Code:
