Dear Firedrakers,
I've just installed Firedrake on an Ubuntu virtual machine, and I'm finding that the firedrake test script seemingly stops advancing (sometimes at different points in the tests).
By `stops advancing' I mean `stays on the same test for at least an hour'.
I've attached the console output for a couple of attempts running the test script.
Is there something I'm doing wrong, is this a bug, or is it an issue with the virtual machine? (Or something else?)
Looking at the output, it looks like lots of parallel tests are causing segfaults. Perhaps eventually the test suite is giving up. Can you provide a little more detail on which ubuntu version? We test on ubuntu and haven't seen any such failures, but perhaps our ubuntu is too old. In particular, I'd be interested in knowing about: gcc --version mpicc -show Assuming you have OpenMPI then also: ompi_info Cheers, Lawrence
