Dear users:
I got the following error when I did GW calculation for rutile TiO2. (I
just want to create KSS and SCR files for further convergence test just like
tutorial 6.2):
" - outkss - ERROR:
Non-symmorphic operations still remain in the symmetries list
Program does not stop but _KSS file will not be created... "
The following is my input file, the error appeared after dataset2. Dataset3
can't read KSS file because dataset2 didn't create it.(BTW, I use GGA)
