Hello Punit

In you are input, in the control section,  you are setting restart_mode variable to "restart", which assumes that you had run a first calculation and this new one should  restart upon the previous results.  For this reason the program tries to read the the older calculation data from a file written on exit. It might be that you first calculation terminated too abruptly and before it had any occasion to print out any restart data, in that case you have to restart from scratch.

If this case as well as in the case that this is actually your starting calculation you should set the restart_mode to "from_scratch" and everything should work fine.

You can find clearer info about this at this link <http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wp-content/uploads/Doc/INPUT_PW.html>.

best regards  - Pietro

Hello QE users

I have recently started working on quantum espresso. I have installed QE 6.2 and after installation I have tried to do structure optimization of bukl Ni crystal and I have got the following error

Since I am new to this field, I am not able to figure out this problem. Any help regarding this error is highly appreciated. I have also attached my input file.
