Dear Vivek,

When I run epsilon.x, I received the following error message such as 'non unifrom kpt grid'. And I added nosym = .TRUE. and noinv = .TRUE. in to my epsilon.x input file by reading other related threads but I got an another error message such as 'reading namelist ENERGY_GRID'.

note that

nosym=.true.
noinv=.true.

need to be added to the nscf input of pw.x.

the namelists of epsilon.x contain the following variables:

  NAMELIST / inputpp / prefix, outdir, calculation
  NAMELIST / energy_grid / smeartype, intersmear, intrasmear, nw, wmax, wmin, &
                           nbndmin, nbndmax, shift
  !
(as from qe/PP/src/epsilon.f90 )

the error you get ('reading namelist ENERGY_GRID') just means that you are specifying unexpected variable names.

How can I solve this problem to find an absorption spectrum of my system? I have tried a lot to rectify this error by reading all the related threads from QE but I couldn't solve. I would be very grateful if you help me out in this regard. My input file is attached below.

Thanks in advance.
