Hi everyone (again), I kind of solve the problem. I can't save in C: but it lets me save in external devices. I got some help and this person said the problem might be something about security of vista and 7, something about libraries (I don't know that much) the program uses that security doesn't let me save on C: If someone has had a seemed problem have an idea of how to solve please comment...

Help, can't save anything on athena
by Jaziel Soto 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi everyone, i'm using athena 0.8.061 and iffefit 1.2.11c installed on 32 bits widows 7. In a laptop toshiba (if it helps). My problem is that i can't save anything i work. I've tried everything that comes to my mind and i still cant save. I just hear a noise (advice) and nothing happens. I had vista, and i thought installing windows 7 might solve the problem but it didn't, so i'm asking for help now.

Murat OZKENDIR I have forwarded this to the Ifeffit mailing list, which is the right place for questions like this. Here's some info about the mailing list as well as some hints on how to get more information about XAFS: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/BruceRavel/FormLetters/HelpRequest You question seems a little unclear and open-ended. Question 15 at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/FAQ/FeffitModeling might help. Perhaps someone else on the list has some advice for you.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff Terry or Paul Fons had made a 64-bit version, but I don't know for sure. I'm sending this to the mailing list in case they or someone else knows more. Building from source on a Mac is not too painful if you have experience building software on Unix systems. --Matt

How to evaluate the fitted result by LCF?
by 康明亮 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

Dear, I want to consult how to evaluate the fitted result by LCF. R-factor within what range is reasonable and allowable? Attached are the fitted results, athena-SSRF.prj extention and .gif picture.Why there is still a large deviation for sample K (excluded FeSeO3 from this sample)? Thanks a lot! Best wishes Mingliang

Athena Freezing Desktop
by David Ehle 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Bruce, Sorry for the accusatory subject line - I can't prove Athena is the culprit but I figured that others with the same problem would be searching for similar terms. Running Athena from the current debian package for Lenny (2:1.2.11d-1) we have been seeing desktop freezes after some hard to characterize period of use. The time period seems to usually be a few hours, and there is a belief that it is connected to having more than a few raw data files open in Athena. Users have previously seen Athena crash/freeze when they have "too many" files open, or Athena open for "too long" but I haven't been able to get any firm numbers. The concern is that while previously when Athena crashed or froze, only Athena was effected. Now it seems that the whole desktop becomes non-responsive. The reason I'm suggesting there is a link between Athena and the Desktop (XFCE4) problem is that if you connect to the system via SSH and kill Athena, the Desktop becomes unfrozen and the user can continue with what they are doing. We have seen this occur on both beamlines, with different users and different data sets so I doubt it is data specific, but can send your some sample files if that will be useful. In one case I was able to collect an error message from the .xsession-errors file of a user who was experiencing the problem: ** (xfwm4:21854): WARNING **: Unmanaged net_wm_state (window 0x3800008) X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 7 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x329 kbuildsycoca running...

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/athena line 4700. I'm afraid I don't know if the lines before the lines that explicitly mention athena are related, or if these messages have anything to do with the desktop freezing problem - I think I have the seen the freeze without the errors. Please advise if we can provide you with other information to make figuring out easier. When this problem occurs at 3AM it really upsets our users (which tends to upset the staff when they get called about it...) so we have started running a second system just for Athena. Can you make any suggestions on the minimum vs optimal hardware for Athena? For tracking many (30+) raw data files to see how a run is progressing, can you suggest minimum RAM, CPU power, # of Cores? Thanks!! Please CC ehle(a)iit.edu with any responses as I'm not an active subscriber to this list. David Ehle MRCAT -IIT

Is possible to shift the spectra in athena?
by 康明亮 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Dear, I want to consult if is possible to shift a spectra in athena? As shown in the attached file athena.prj, I want to include red-(Se) to do LCF. But I forgot to measure the red-Se(0) spectra, only grey-Se(0) was measured. However, according to the literature, these two references have the same energy position only with different amplitude at the white line peak. Since the white line peak would shift if the same sample was measured at different facility, thus I need to do horizontal translate the spectra of red-Se(0) which measured at another facility. is it possible to do this in athena? Thanks! Best regards Mingliang

Bruce ayuda, problemas con athena
by Jaziel Soto 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Me encuentro usando el athena 0.8.061 y el ifeffit 1.2.11c instalado en windows vista de 32 bits. Tengo puesta la compatibilidad de windows xp service pack 2, ejecutándolo con privilegios de administrador y después de haber trabajado algo, cuando quiero grabar los .prj no pasa nada. Entonces lo que trabajo no tiene sentido por que no lo puedo guardar.
