Here post your question
Dear All,
I am new to MD simulation. I just installed gromacs on my dell G5 5590 laptop. i was going through tutorial Membrane Protein: KALP15 in DPPC. I got the following error when i run - gmx genrestr -f KALP_newbox.gro -o strong_posre.itp -fc 100000 100000 100000

GROMACS: gmx genrestr, version 2020.2

gmx genrestr -f KALP_newbox.gro -o strong_posre.itp -fc 100000 100000 100000

May i know how to solve this?

Thank you

Best Regards

This is a bug. Please open an issue on gitlab.com/gromacs

Thank you for the reply of jalemkul. I faced the exactly same problem. Can you explan more? with great thanks.

It has already been fixed. Install version 2020.3 and try again.

It worked! Thank you very much.

Disculpe la molestia, yo también soy nueva en el tema y lo que entendí es que hay que actualizar la versión de Gromacs a la 2020.3? Gracias.

@Kaff please compose your posts in English.

I have installed GROMACS 2020.1, and I have experienced the same problem with this command
gmx genrestr -f KALP_newbox.gro -o strong_posre.itp -fc 100000 100000 100000
“Reading structure file

Segmentation fault (core dumped)”

Thus, I am going to upgrade to the 2020.3 version. And I would like to know this:
How is possible to get GPU enabled? it seems to be impossible in my workstation which it has an ASUS C621e motherboard with two intel xeon gold 6138 processors, 96 gb in RAM in addition to two GPU GeForce RTX cards (2080Ti), compatible with GPU acceleration for GROMACS

During the energy minimization step, I faced the error, Segmentation fault (core dumped).

WARNING: Listed nonbonded interaction between particles 1708 and 1723

This is likely either a 1,4 interaction, or a listed interaction inside
a smaller molecule you are decoupling during a free energy calculation.
Since interactions at distances beyond the table cannot be computed,
they are skipped until they are inside the table limit again. You will
only see this message once, even if it occurs for several interactions.

IMPORTANT: This should not happen in a stable simulation, so there is
probably something wrong with your system. Only change the table-extension
distance in the mdp file if you are really sure that is the reason.
