Hey guys,

Has anyone found a list of all the triggers and their bit numbers? Elim, Arno said you might know…

Thanks,

ISpy does not open

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

Hi, when I run the ISpy Analyzer all I get is a list of data (Event, Run, Lumisection, etc), but it does not open ISpy so that I can see this. Does anyone know how to look at the resulting file in ISpy? Thanks.

What we need to do to access ‘cms-web-access’.

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Arno says that we need to register for TWiki. Here is the link.

It says Access Denied. So, link for ‘register’. And that is to register for an account in TWiki. Then, we need to wait for Prof. James Rohlf to let us join the egroup ‘cms-web-access’.

Hope that helps.

Problem accessing e-group “CMS web Access” in TWiki

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

I tried to click on the “CMSSW” in the TWiki web, and I am denied to go to that page because I am not a member of the e-group “CMS-web-Access”. So, I emailed the TWiki person, Peter Jones, and this is the reply:

{You need to be in the egroup ‘cms-web-access’ in order to see CMS pages. 

Check with your CMS coordinator

Peter Jones}

So, I am thinking if we need Arno’s permition to join the e-group…

Thanks, Elim =D

Opening ISpy

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Does anyone else get this message when they try to open ispy?
[lxplus203] ~ > chmod +x ispy
[lxplus203] ~ > ./ispy
Reading default views.
Fontconfig warning: no elements found. Check configuration.
Fontconfig warning: adding /usr/share/fonts/fonts.cache-1
Fontconfig warning: adding ~/.fontconfig
ispy: Fatal IO error: client killed
I also tried doing the wget thing beforehand but that didn’t work either.

Ispy problems

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Ok, it seems the reason for the last error was because cygwin was not running. Problem is solved but now iguana/ispy freezes when opened.

Here is the FAQ link for running iSpy:
