Hello, I'm having a problem using mne\_analyze to do coordinate alignment. I am using ssh -X to get to the computer with the software. At first I had this error: -bash-4.1$ mne\_analyze Using a 4096-point FFT in filtering of raw data with 2048-sample tapers Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r- normal--14-\*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-\*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Desired visual not found. Running the following command made the error go away: export LIBGL\_ALWAYS\_INDIRECT=1 However, now that I am in mne\_analyze, my loaded surface won't stay on the screen. I loaded the surface, and then opened the viewer. The surface flashed in the viewer and then disappeared. The viewer is still there; it is just gray where the surface should be. When I try to do coordinate alignment and I click "LAP" for example, the surface will flash again. Did my fix to the other problem mess things up? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nicole Rafidi Carnegie-Mellon University Machine Learning Dept. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
