So instead of just clicking on the RDP file to let the application open it automatically, with apologies, you will have to do: The "Color Depth" needs to be set less than 32 in the VCL settings, and that is the default however, it seems there is a problem in Microsoft RDP where it does not read in that information from the RDP file.
This is assuming you have already set the VCL Preferences to have Color Depth.
Under the Please select the environment you want to use from the list, select HPC (CentOS 7.5 64 bit VM). Click on Reservations, and then click the New Reservation button.By default, applications will usually generate output files and log files in the current working directory.
Before opening an application, cd to the scratch directory on /share. Run applications from the scratch directory. Actions like using a web browser or drag and drop to the Trash can create unexpected consequences, such as creating small hidden files that quickly fill a user's home directory. Program execution and file manipulation should still be done from the command line to the extent possible, and the use of the web browser should be limited to necessary operations. The HPC-VCL is not meant to be a substitute for learning Linux or the command line. Run a web browser client on the HPC to click and download files from web servers that do not support wget.Run a web browser client to access the iRODS file system to click to upload or download files between the iRODS file system and the HPC file system.
