<div>Hello John,</div><div><br></div>I have seen exactly this problem after running phenix.validate . Not only does the GUI freeze , but it seems to take the windowing system down with it. The window manager gets unresponsive. Remote shelling into the system was possible , but there was no active python process that I could kill to get control back. In the end I had to restart-X to log back in loosing what I was doing in other windows.<div>
<br></div><div>I have seen this at-least 2 or 3 times on two 64 bit ubuntu hardy running machines with phenix 1.6.289. Both boxes have 4 to 8 cores and 8 to 16 GB of ram.</div><div><br></div><div>On mac OSX running 10.6.2 , on a core duo , so probably everything is running in 32 bit mode . Things are relatively very stable. Other than a few times where phenix said it was launching coot and just sat there, I have been using it without incident, so much so I have switched to using my slow laptop because of something I thought was wrong at my end.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Looking forward to troubleshooting instructions . Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Hari</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 7:28 AM, John Berrisford <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jmb@mrc-mbu.cam.ac.uk">jmb@mrc-mbu.cam.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

A little while ago I posted a message about the GUI freezing on linux systems, either run remotely (centos) or locally (ubuntu system). I never received a solution and I'm still having this problem despite upgrading to version 1.6.<br>
<br>
On my ubuntu system the GUI seems to freeze either when the screen saver comes on (set to turn the screen off) or I switch desktop - although not everytime I do this.<br>
The freezing GUI means that I have to force quit phenix after every refinement run (I haven't tried other tasks) and that the freeR is not reported to the GUI (not a major problem). Thankfully in version 1.6 the configuration and results for each refinement run are recorded and I can retrieve this information by loading a job through job history - a big improvement over version 1.5.<br>
<br>
Anyone else having this problem and does anyone know a solution?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
John<br>
