Ubuntu 20.04 start screen frozen at system check  (Ctrl-C to stop system checks does not work)

1) Install the recommended NVIDIA drivers for your graphics card:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

ubuntu-drivers devices

sudo apt install [driver_name]
or
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

sudo reboot

2) you may have to uninstall all nvidia drivers first

dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia

sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

sudo reboot

3) Disable 
nvidia-drm modeset option

I discovered that prime-select writes a configuration file which causes the problem. It enables the nvidia-drm modeset option. You can simply undo the change made by prime-select by commenting out this option. It will not be reset, because prime-select only writes this file when it does not exist yet."
Open the file in your favorite editor (vim, nano, gedit, etc.).
sudo nano /lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf And comment out the the nvidia-drm modeset option.
# This file was generated by nvidia-prime # Set value to 0 to disable modesetting # options nvidia-drm modeset=1

LiPyphilic: A Python Toolkit for the Analysis of Lipid Membrane Simulations

8/30/2021

1 Comment

 
LiPyphilic is a Python package for analyzing such simulations. Analysis tools in LiPyphilic include the identification of cholesterol flip-flop events, the classification of local lipid environments, and the degree of interleaflet registration. LiPyphilic is both force field- and resolution-agnostic, and by using the powerful atom selection language of MDAnalysis, it can handle membranes with highly complex compositions. LiPyphilic also offers two on-the-fly trajectory transformations to (i) fix membranes split across periodic boundaries and (ii) perform nojump coordinate unwrapping. Implementation of nojump unwrapping accounts for fluctuations in the box volume under the NPT ensemble—an issue that most current implementations have overlooked. The full documentation of LiPyphilic, including installation instructions and links to interactive online tutorials, is available at https://lipyphilic.readthedocs.io/en/latest.

Mounting a new disk on Ubuntu - permissions

7/22/2021

2 Comments

 

When mounting a new disk on Ubuntu the default permissions are:
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime


which don't allow one to execute programs.

The solution is to remove the 'noexec' option with
​
noexec με mount -o remount,rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime /media/mydata3

Upgrading to the next Ubuntu  LTS

7/19/2021

0 Comments

 
You can jump between Ubuntu  LTS versions but if you are not on the LTS you 'd have to first update to the next Ubuntu version.
Be sure to fully update your current OS:
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get upgrade
Then try 'sudo apt install update-manager-core' to check for any broken dependencies
Fix any broken problems, usually by removing them and re-installing them.

  • sudo shutdown -r now
  • Then, sudo  do-release-upgrade

Textbook for Teaching Scientific Computing to Chemistry Students with Python and Jupyter Notebooks

7/18/2021

1 Comment

 
This book is written to teach the subject using Python, Jupyter notebooks, and the SciPy stack which are all open source and cross-platform software; the text assumes no previous computer programming background from the students. The textbook is an open educational resource released under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 Creative Commons license and can be freely downloaded at https://github.com/weisscharlesj/SciCompforChemists together with related material.

The article below provides descriptions and philosophy behind the structure and content of the book along with insights and advice based on its use in an undergraduate course: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jchemed.0c01071

MSD calculation with error bars using GROMACS

12/4/2020

1 Comment

 
To compute the MSD with error using GROMACS use the gmx analyze command: 
http://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/5.1/onlinehelp/gmx-analyze.html


For error bars in a single trajectory (block averaging) use the -ee option:

"Option -ee produces error estimates using block averaging. A set is divided in a number of blocks and averages are calculated for each block. The error for the total average is calculated from the variance between averages of the m blocks B_i as follows: error^2 = sum (B_i - <B>)^2 / (m*(m-1)). These errors are plotted as a function of the block size."

The command line is:
gmx analyze -f msd_all_DPPC.xvg -ee err_dppc

Error bars can also be added with the option -errbar, but only if you have multiple replicas of the same system. The errorbars can represent the standard deviation.

The command line is:
gmx analyze -f msd_all_DPPC.xvg -ee err_dppc -errbar stddev

How to continue running ssh processes even if connection drops.

11/5/2020

0 Comments

 
Have you ever faced the situation where you perform a long-running task on a remote machine, and suddenly your connection drops, the SSH session is terminated, and your work is lost. Well, it has happened to all of us at some point, hasn’t it? Luckily, there is a utility called screen that allows us to resume the sessions.

Screen or GNU Screen is a terminal multiplexer. In other words, it means that you can start a screen session and then open any number of windows (virtual terminals) inside that session. Processes running in Screen will continue to run when their window is not visible even if you get disconnected.

The screen package is pre-installed on most Linux distros nowadays.

iOS and Android app for remote connections

9/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello all,

Using the app: https://termius.com/

you can connect with ssh to any linux machine (it's a similar app to e.g. Putty in a Windows PC) . So you can connect to your lab desktop and through it you can ssh to a supercomputer or any server you are using to submit/monitor jobs and run any terminal commands you need.
