Dear all,
I am more or less regularly running small size o2 simulations for testing TPC-QC stuff with the following commands:
o2-sim -m TPC [ITS PIPE] -n 100 -g pythia8
o2-sim-digitizer-workflow -b
o2-tpc-reco-workflow --infile tpcdigits.root --output-type clusters,tracks
Until last week this was running fine. Now, after updating the software, the first command is not successful giving the following output:
[INFO] This is o2-sim version 1.2.0 (03608ff899)
[INFO] Built by ALIBUILD:1.8.0, ALIDIST-REV:7748331603d1b9351a9eab511394a9f54386a6bb on OS:Linux-4.15.0-144-generic

The corresponding log file you can find here: o2sim_serverlog
I think, the relevant lines are at the end of this log:
PYTHIA Error in ProcessLevel::init: no process switched on
PYTHIA Abort from Pythia::init: processLevel initialization failed
[^[[01;36m13:35:14^[[0m][^[[01;31mFATAL^[[0m] Failed to init 'Pythia8': init returned with error
Some further info:
- I am on Ubuntu 18.04
- aliBuild version 1.8.0
- alidist/master, O2/dev and QualityControl/master from yesterday
- Using the box generator instead (i.e. removing “-g pythia8” in the first command) is still running fine
Thanks a lot for any help!
Cheers,
Stefan
