GROMACS version: 2020.1  
GROMACS modification: No  
Here post your question

Dear developers of GROMACS  
We observe an error in 2020.1:  
As you can see in a file of bilayer.gro (it is our initiated file) every thing is OK.  
So, after minimization, number of residues are deleted and all residues have only same number. please check bilayer\_min.gro.  
It happen before and after ion addition as well as before and after index process. I mean, after any minimization we observe this error.  
for instance; all LES in column 2 are 1LES after minimization. Also, all SOL in column 2 are 1SOL after minimization and so on.  
we have not seen this error in 2018.1 version.  
Let us how we can handle this error.

Hi,  
Sorry, I am not using Ubuntu my self.  
In the ubuntu main page, you can find GROMACS2020.4, but I do not know if it applies to any ubuntu version. Maybe someelse knows more about.

Best regards

Muhammad,

Which version of Ubuntu are you running? I ask because I have been having general problems using the gromacs package in the Ubuntu software repositories on Ubuntu 20.04.1. I have also run into problems with my own personal builds.

> UPDATE: I used sudo apt-get install gromacs on Ubuntu 20.04.1 to get the precompiled binaries of gromacs 2020.1 (different from version 2020.4 as I was using above). The gmx binary also has an identical hanging issue between these two different versions and build methods. I also did a fresh re-installation of the OS, with no improvement. I also tried rebuilding version 2020.4 again with gcc-8.4.0 and CUDA-11.1, as well as just gcc-8.4.0 with graphics card support entirely turned off, so I am …
