You must enable X-forwarding on your ssh connection.

The line

No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

tells you that there is no X11 display to show the graphics.

To enable X-forwarding, add -X to your ssh command when connecting to uppmax

Ex.

$ ssh -X customer@kalkyl.uppmax.uu.se

If you connect to another node within uppmax, you have to use -X when connecting to it as well.
