Problems in executing mpi with machinefile Ubuntu 18.04 - mpi

Question

following these guidelines MpichClusterUbuntu, I'm trying to execute my very first mpi program with a PC with Ubuntu 18.04.01 Server Edition and a laptop with Ubuntu 18.04.02 Desktop. Till step 11 of this guideline, everything went fine, with no problems at all.
I set up a machinefile called hosts
with these two lines:
192.168.1.7 # first 'master' node: the PC
192.168.1.5 # second node: the laptop
After compiling the very simple example file contained in the guidelines without:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
int myrank, nprocs;
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &nprocs);
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &myrank);
printf("Hello from processor %d of %d\n", myrank, nprocs);
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
mpiu#pc01:~$ mpicc mpi_hello.c -o mpi_hello
Executing without considering the machinefile 'hosts', this is the output:
mpiu#pc01:~$ mpiexec -n 8 ./mpi_hello
------------------------------------------------------------------
[[27419,1],0]: A high-performance Open MPI point-to-point messaging
module was unable to find any relevant network interfaces:
Module: OpenFabrics (openib)
Host: pc01
Another transport will be used instead, although this may result in
lower performance.
NOTE: You can disable this warning by setting the MCA parameter
btl_base_warn_component_unused to 0.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello from processor 1 of 8
Hello from processor 2 of 8
Hello from processor 5 of 8
Hello from processor 6 of 8
Hello from processor 0 of 8
Hello from processor 3 of 8
Hello from processor 7 of 8
Hello from processor 4 of 8
[pc01:25010] 7 more processes have sent help message help-mpi-btl-
base.txt / btl:no-nics
[pc01:25010] Set MCA parameter "orte_base_help_aggregate" to 0 to see all
help / error messages
And when executing calling the machinefile 'hosts', the execution remains idle without producing any output:
mpiu#pc01:~$ mpiexec -n 8 -machinefile hosts ./mpi_hello
PS:
this is the content of /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml in the "master" node (PC):
network:
ethernets:
enp3s0:
#addresses: []
#dhcp4: true
addresses: [192.168.1.7/24]
gateway4: 192.168.1.1
nameservers:
addresses: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]
dhcp4: no
version: 2
Updates:
after the correct comment of Gilles, I removed openmpi which I guess it was installed previously.
Now executing the step 11 of the guidelines MpichClusterUbuntu18.04 :
A) without calling the machinefile:
marco#pc01:/mirror$ mpiexec -n 8 ./mpi_hello
Hello from processor 0 of 8
Hello from processor 1 of 8
Hello from processor 3 of 8
Hello from processor 5 of 8
Hello from processor 6 of 8
Hello from processor 7 of 8
Hello from processor 2 of 8
Hello from processor 4 of 8
B) But calling the machinefile "hosts":
marco#pc01:/mirror$ mpiexec -n 8 -machinefile /home/mpiu/hosts
./mpi_hello
ssh: Could not resolve hostname pc0: Temporary failure in name resolution
ssh: Could not resolve hostname riccarcohp: Temporary failure in name
resolution

/pmiserv_pmci.c:198): error waiting for event
[mpiexec#pc01] main (ui/mpich/mpiexec.c:340): process manager error

After putting in machinefile 'hosts' only the IP Addresses:
mpiu#pc01:/mirror$ mpiexec -n 8 -machinefile /home/mpiu/hosts ./mpi_hello
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
mpiu#192.168.1.5: Permission denied (publickey,password).
But I can ssh with no problems at all from the PC to the laptop:
mpiu#pc01:/mirror$ ssh 192.168.1.5
mpiu#192.168.1.5's password:
mpiu#riccardo-HP-Laptop-15-da0xxx:~$
Now it seems SOLVED, even if I repeated for the third time, right the same procedure:
these are the steps I followed for setting up passwordless SSH between pc01 (the and riccardohp (laptop):
marco#pc01:/$ su - mpiu
Password:
mpiu#pc01:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/mpiu/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory '/home/mpiu/.ssh'.
To make it simpler, I left out the passphrase:
Your identification has been saved in /home/mpiu/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/mpiu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:..... mpiu#pc01
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 2048]----+
...................
...................
+----[SHA256]-----+
I copied the public key from pc01 to the laptop:
mpiu#pc01:~$ ssh-copy-id 192.168.1.5
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/home
/mpiu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.5 (192.168.1.5)' can't be
established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:.......................
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to
filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are
prompted now it is to install the new keys
mpiu#192.168.1.5's password:
Number of key(s) added: 1
Now try logging into the machine, with: "ssh '192.168.1.5'"
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.
mpiu#pc01:~$ ssh '192.168.1.5'
Welcome to Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.18.0-16-generic x86_64)
mpiu#riccardo-HP-Laptop-15-da0xxx:~$
So, apparently, it seems that the ssh connection between pc01 and the laptop works fine...
mpiu#riccardo-HP-Laptop-15-da0xxx:~$ ^C
mpiu#riccardo-HP-Laptop-15-da0xxx:~$ logout
Connection to 192.168.1.5 closed.
mpiu#pc01:~$ cd /
