GROMACS version: 2019.6
GROMACS modification: No
Here post your question
Greetings everyone,
I was running gromacs for a while and everything was “perfect” in the sense that all the commands did what they were supposed to.
After upgrading from Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04 it suddenly stopped working. The problem is:
Running gmx <command> <parameters> leads to the program putting out the “finished” line (e.g. Please Note something) but no citation.
After that, the command line is supposed to show up again, but it isn’t.
Instead, an emply line is sitting there doing notihng.
The only way out is to press control+c
No errors, no other hints what could be wrong.
Also, if I was asking to generate some output, e.g. gmx energy, an empty file is written. Other tools generate output as expected (gmx editconf, grompp, mdrun, …)
Here is the output from simply typing gmx :

so as you can see, blank line in the end, of which I can create a lot by pressing enter and nothing happens…
The problem persists even after recompiling gromacs from source.

any clue is much appreciated.
