Bug Description

Dear MadGraph Team,

I encountered an error that I don't know how to resolve when I try to generate events from an imported model. This error only occured after I updated my MadGraph today.

When I try to generate said events I get the following error:

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the feedback and sorry for the trouble.

Could you attach the files:
1. /storage_mnt/storage/user/odupon/MG5_aMC_v2_7_0/PROC_WEff_UFO_4/run_01_tag_1_debug.log
2. /storage_mnt/storage/user/odupon/MG5_aMC_v2_7_0/madgraph/various/banner.py

Maybe one work-around to this bug would be to add the line
0.9 = second_refine_treshold
in the run_card but my guess is that this is just going to create a crash at the compilation time (if like I think, your file madgraph/various/banner.py was not updated correctly.)

You can see here the changes that should have been done to that file:
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~madteam/mg5amcnlo/series2.0/revision/288#madgraph/various/banner.py

I have checked the uiuc and the ucl server and the command requesting the change to that file are correct. I have also run the update function from 2.7.2 to 2.7.3 and I do not reproduce that error.

Maybe one solution independently of the above question is to install a clean version from this link: https://launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo/2.0/2.7.x/+download/MG5_aMC_v2.7.3.tar.gz

Thanks,

Olivier

Hi Olivier

Here is my banner.py and I'll attach the log in the next comment. I have noticed that besides the banner.py I also have a banner.py.orig and a banner.py.rej maybe that could be part of the cause.

Kind regards
Olivier Dupon

Yes this means that the patches fails for some reason. Did you ever open that file?
The cleanest is likely to re-install a clean version from the official tarball then.

Thanks,

Olivier
