Problem with Mummer

Hello! No matter which tool I try, I cannot seem to be able to obtain a mummer plot. I tried running Mummer, Mummerplot, and MUMmer dotplot, and I always get an error. For Mummer:

Fatal error: Exit code 129 ()

The standard error being :

 Reading mummer file /data/jwd06/main/098/526/98526945/outputs/dataset_5684b04c-ed3c-4fe3-ba39-67115b44de34.dat (use mummer -c)
Writing plot files out.fplot, out.rplot, out.hplot
Writing gnuplot script out.gp
Rendering plot out.png

For MUMmer dotplot, I get:

Fatal error: Exit code 1 ()

Regarding Mummerplot: when I try to run Nucmer, it completes successfully (when asking for the delta format), but then when I try this as one of the input for Mummerplot, I get the same Fatal error as in Mummer…

Hi @davidjoly

Yes, I can reproduce the problems. I’ve reported this to the UseGalaxy.eu administrators. I would suggest that you send in examples from your errors as well using the :beetle: bug icon from the red error datasets. This is mostly to provide them with the full range of user impact, not necessarily to get this “reported” in full (instead, I’ll be helping with this part). FAQ: Troubleshooting errors

I’ll be creating a ticket later today (after a few more technical tests) and will post back the tracking ticket. The issue impacts all of the UseGalaxy servers.

As a temporary workaround, you could move into a Jupyter Notebook environment, install the tool, and run it inside of there. → GTN Materials Search (query=jupyter).

Thanks for reporting the problem! We’ll know more about the scope and timeline later. More soon! :slight_smile:
