Description

I tried to run CTFFIND4 on the SEMC-head from appion, it failed with

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/myamisnap/bin/ctffind4.py", line 451, in <module>
imgLoop.run()

A bit more specifics: I run it once, (in /gpfs/appion/gscapin/16nov11d/ctf/ctffind4run1) and the ACE button on the viewer did not display any rings, or 0.8, 0.5 best values. Also, under the GUI, the summary talks about 28 CTFs completed. When I tried to generate a stack file after template picking, it failed (in /gpfs/appion/gscapin/16nov11d/stacks/stack1 and stack2; see below). A second attempt to run ctffind4 caused the error above. It may as well be something I did,but I cannot figure out what it could be.

Thanks - Giovanna

The parallel unlock problem is a timing issue. The lock file has been removed by another unlock call but a fraction of the second delay caused it wanting to do it again. e2c473fd adds some wait time for it. Should fix it.

Stack generation with no best ctf value is caused by ctfdisplay not generating the diagnosis result. It is a SEMC internal problem of bad .matplotlib cache saved at user's home directory.
