Hello! Sorry but I'm not able to answer the e-mail in the thread as I wasn't subscribed to the mailing list! But I now am. Thanks to L-A, Carlos and Chris for their answers! I can live with the config based tool configuration... but a dynamic one would be nice to have! Cheers, Tanguy

Re: [galaxy-dev] [galaxy-user] Problem using Galaxy on the cloud

Hi Jan, Since this question is about a Cloud installation, I am going to forward your question over to the galaxy-dev(a)bx.psu.edu mailing list so that the development community will have a better chance of seeing it and providing feedback. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Support#Mailing_Lists Thanks!

I have no problem going through BioCloudCentral and getting an instance going. I can also successfully load my data from an S2 bucket into Galaxy. The problem occurs when I try to use velveth. I always says 'job waiting to run'. As a matter of curiosity, I then used SSH to get into CloudBioLinux, which worked. However, when I try to use NX to get the virtual desktop going I get the message usr/bin/nxserver: line 381: echo: write error: No space left on device. > > Using the df -h command, I get: > > Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > /dev/xvda1 20G 19G 0 100% / > udev 8.4G 4.0K 8.4G 1% /dev > tmpfs 3.4G 660K 3.4G 1% /run > none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock > none 8.4G 0 8.4G 0% /run/shm > /dev/xvdb 404G 202M 383G 1% /mnt > /dev/xvdg1 700G 654G 47G 94% /mnt/galaxyIndices > /dev/xvdg2 10G 1.7G 8.4G 17% /mnt/galaxyTools > /dev/xvdg3 200G 11G 190G 6% /mnt/galaxyData > > > So, I guess my question as a new user is: How do I point Galaxy and CloudBioLinux to all of this unused space?

Possible Galaxy memory leak?
by Joshua Gross 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi all-- Our group is running a local instance of Galaxy on a Linux box. We have been noticing a memory issue, where if we leave the server running for a few days, soon all available memory (~8gb) will be used up to the point where the tools fail because they are unable to allocate new memory. While we haven't done any rigorous testing, this issue seems to be independent of the specific tools we run, and actually seems to still appear if we do not run any tools at all. The process "python" is what is taking up all the memory, and the issue is not instantaneous but happens over time. Restarting the server frees the memory immediately. Is this a known issue? If so, is there a known fix for it? Any insight on this would be much appreciated, as it is complicating our efforts to automate long work-flows. Thank you so much for your time Josh Gross, Western Washington University.

Am I missing something in the database? Hi Mike, I moved this over to the galaxy-dev list since it pertains to a local installation. You'll need to update your tool_data_table_conf.xml from the sample. If you haven't made any modifications, the simplest solution is to just `cp tool_data_table_conf.xml.sample tool_data_table_conf.xml`. --nate > > Thanks, > > Mike Waldron > > ___________________________________________________________ > The Galaxy User list should be used for the discussion of > Galaxy analysis and other features on the public server > at usegalaxy.org.

Re: [galaxy-dev] Variable number of inputs in Workflow (or optional inputs)
by Ann Black 06 Mar '12

Good Morning, We are also interested in this capability. To give a concrete example, we sometimes receive multiple sequence runs 1* for the same sample. We would like to be able to process each run of the sample through BWA and then merge them together, post process it a bit, and then send the merged bam file through the rest of our standard pipeline. Ideally this would be automated. Aurélien, I am interested in your workaround this might get us part of the way there, as we could concatenate the fastq files together and run BWA once. Would you be willing to share some of your custom tools for us to iterate on? But ideally, for performance, we would run the bwa steps in parallel. Is the galaxy team looking into these types of features or do other people have custom solutions they are using? Thanks so much, Ann

can the sample tracking system transfer (copy) data to a dataset library not in private Galaxy server data directory tree and then just link files?
by Leandro Hermida 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Dear all, Is there a way with the Galaxy sample tracking system to have the dataset transfer feature copy data to a dataset library outside the private Galaxy server data directory tree and then the dataset library just link (like you can do with upload files feature when managing data libraries)? The reason for this is that it is common to have such huge data also available outside of Galaxy on the filesystem for bioinformatians/computational biologists to access directly without having to have two copies. regards, Leandro

Hi Luciano, I've moved this over to galaxy-dev since it concerns a local installation. On Feb 26, 2012, at 6:19 PM, Luciano Cosme wrote: > I have python 2.7 and it seems to be the problem with it. Just formated the partition I had linux and fresh install everything and still have same problem. I did what is recommended here too. We use Python 2.7 in development and on the public site. If there is a specific problem with 2.7, could you provide details on what it is? > Check your Python version > > Galaxy's core functionality is compatible with Python versions 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7. (Version 2.4 support was last included in the November 18, 2011 Distribution). Before reporting bugs, please ensure that python --version reports one of these three versions. If this is not the case, a simple solution is to manipulate your shell's $PATH variable to place the correct version first. This can be done for only Python by creating a new directory at the front of $PATH and creating a symbolic link to python in that directory: > > > Toggle line numbers > 1 % mkdir ~/galaxy-python > 2 % ln -s /path/to/python2.5 ~/galaxy-python/python > 3 % export PATH=~/galaxy-python:$PATH > > > > > > On Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 5:50 PM, Luciano Cosme <cosme.simple(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > I have been running a Local Galaxy instance for a long time, but now I am having some problems with uploading data.

Re: [galaxy-dev] Using complete workflow in another workflow

Hello - I would also like the +1 this feature. I currently use the "clone" feature of a workflow to make a copy and modify, but if I change the original workflow, I think have to remember which workflows I cloned into and hand modify them as well. If we had the ability to re-use workflows, then we could develop modules that could be re-used in larger workflows.

Variable number of inputs in Workflow (or optional inputs)
by Jennifer Jackson 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hello Daniel, Examining existing tools that have multiple/optional inputs can be a good way to see how this is done. One example is the tool: "NGS: QC and manipulation -> Manipulate FASTQ". The 'Manipulate FASTQ' tool source is here: http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/src/e58a87c91bc4/tools/fastq/ fastq_manipulation.py fastq_manipulation.xml The tool tag set is defined in this wiki; http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Config%20Syntax See <repeat>, <conditional>, and <when> for more details and examples. Questions about tools are best sent to the galaxy-dev(a)bx.psu.edu mailing list (the galaxy-user list is primarily for questions about data/tools usages on the main public instance). I am going to forward your question over there so that the development community can add to my reply in case they have a simpler way of doing this or other advice.
