Is there a problem with fastqc

Hi may i have a quick check regarding fastqc? It seems that it is taking forever to run for the past few days, especially in a workflow. Would appreciate it anyone can take a look. Thanks !

Hi,

yes, we noticed this already. @bjoern.gruening any new insights on this?

@zschong have you tried running falco instead? Also have you tried usegalaxy.org on the same inputs? Maybe we can figure out what’s wrong together.

Hi @wm75 & @bjoern.gruening ,

Thank you for helping out!

I did try falco moments ago and it looks fine. And the problems seem to be specific to galaxy euro as fastqc runs well in galaxy.org.

@zschong great! That’s helpful information and falco is our recommendation over fastqc anyway nowadays and a drop-in, more efficient replacement.

Nevertheless, we will debug the fastqc issue, of course, though maybe only on Monday.

@wm75 Yup thanks for the falco heads-up. No worries pls take your time to debug fastqc. thanks and have a great week ahead!

In the end, it was an NFS (shared-file-system) locking issue with some font-cache in FATQC.

I tried to recover all stuck jobs. Hope yours are now running or are finished. If not please restart them.

Happy research!
