I am trying to start a XServer in order to perform graphical renderings on the cluster GPU with Paraview. Since the cluster is usally driven by a task scheduler, the xserver is usually not running. For visualizations I need to start a Xserver in combination with the Paraview server.
If I try to start the XServer manually with
xinit
I recieve the following error message:
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?

I tried to use xclock from ssh -X and that works. If I try glxinfo then it won't work.
I am logging in from a remote machine via ssh. Any suggestions?
