Hey guys,

so I am having a problem with slurm scripts that seemed to work fine before.

I am trying to export particles to relion, however, I get the following error:

I have attached my slurm script for inspection.

Please note I have already read several other threads e.g. https://github.com/warpem/warp/issues/28#issuecomment-2436353364, suggesting adding :

export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1:$(hostname)
or
export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1

This does not seem to remedy the problem. WarpTools was running quite nicely for a couple of months and then suddenly this issue started to occur.

Best,
Dylan Noone

Hi everyone,

I have exactly the same error.
I do not use job submission to start my warp commands.

I have 2 different warp envs on our cluster (dev34 and dev36) and both output the same error.
I was working on a new dataset so I thought something was wrong with it, but if I go back to a previous project and try to re-extract the particles the error is also there.

I recently installed the dev36. I am surprised that the dev34 is also not working because I haven't updated it.

Thank for any suggestion.
Cheeers,
Sylvain
