ADE XL no jobs get started

marten

Hi there,


while my transient and dc analysis run quite fine in ADE L, I would like to do some Monte Carlo Analysis with ADE XL. Unfortunately, even a "Single Runs, Sweeps and Corners" analysis does not start. Any job times out saying, "failed to start jobs after 6 attempts".

My job policy is:

distribution: local

max. jobs: 1

start immediately: checked

timeouts: Start Timeout 60, Configure Timeout 300, Linger Time 300


What can be done to fix this issue?


Cheers,

Marten

    Errors could be fixed!

    Since I run Cadence on Ubuntu (yeah I know, not supported... ;-)), I had to do the following:


    mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
    ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
    ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
    ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
    ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi

    Now jobs get started as expected.

    So what was the actual solution?  (I'm in RHEL7 so I couldn't just copy/paste your code)  Is it just a matter of getting rid ofthose stupid warnings from start up being seemingly unrelated but stopping something else from happening??

    Can you show what happens if you run "virtuoso -nograph" ?

    Sometimes there are issues with missing fonts needed when you run in no graph mode (it's a little odd that you need fonts when  you can't see them, but it's because there's a VNC session that is used to swallow all the graphical events, and that doesn't start up properly when some of these fonts are missing). To fix those you may need to install these packages (e.g. using "yum install"):

    xorg-x11-fonts-misc
    xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi
    xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi
    xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi

    Your problem may be something else, hence the request to do "virtuoso -nograph". Even then it might be something else, so the right solution is to contact customer support.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
