Galaxy packages for Bio-Linux - an update + Apache proxying
by Tim Booth 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Hi All, As previously mentioned, I'm back working on packaging the Galaxy server as DEB packages for Bio-Linux (ie. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and ultimately pushing towards something that could be Debian compliant. There's a way to go in that regard, but I do now have an updated package for Bio-Linux in final testing and it also has a new trick: doing "apt-get install galaxy-server-apache-proxy" will set up just that with no further configuration needed. The galaxy server appears at http://localhost/galaxy and users log in with their regular system username and password. Uploads are enabled via regular SFTP so no special FTP server configuration is needed. It's a little hacky in parts but I'm generally pleased with the result. If anyone want to take a look I'd welcome comments. It's not in the main BL repo yet but can be found here: https://launchpad.net/~nebc/+archive/galaxy/+sourcepub/3711751/+listing-arc… Cheers, TIM -- Tim Booth <tbooth(a)ceh.ac.uk> NERC Environmental Bioinformatics Centre Centre for Ecology and Hydrology Maclean Bldg, Benson Lane Crowmarsh Gifford Wallingford, England OX10 8BB http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk +44 1491 69 2705

Adding a tool with additional html/js interface to make input selection
by Saba Sehrish 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi, We are trying to add a new tool to our local galaxy instance with the following requirements. When a user clicks on the tool in side panel from tools list, a table display should appear where the first element in each row is a clickable link. Users can click on any of the element, and then see only there selected row and another table with more options. Once user has made all the selections, then a form should appear describing that you have made the following selection, do you want to execute the tool now? And then users can submit the job. If we implement such a thing in galaxy, we need to load a page with aforementioned functionality, then map the users selection to the tool's inputs, and then run the tool. The question is, is there a way in galaxy to load an html with javascript and use it to prepare the inputs for the tool we want to run, using the xml wrapper. Thanks, Saba

Re: [galaxy-dev] dynamic select problem
by Saba Sehrish 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

I see the similar problem when I try to use first param_value as a filter on the second input selection and then second on the third input selection. The code works fine and makes right selections but displays the warning message “An invalid option was selected, please verify”. My select code is similar: <param name="inputmodel" type="select" size="100" label="Input Model" area="True"> <options from_file="coyote.loc"> <column name="name" index="2"/> <column name="value" index="2"/> <filter type="unique_value" column="2"/> </options> </param> <param name="inputSize" type="select" label="Box Size" selected="false"> <options from_file="coyote.loc"> <column name="name" index="3"/> <column name="value" index="3"/> <filter type="param_value" ref="inputmodel" column="2"/> <filter type="unique_value" column="3"/> </options> </param> <param name="inputRealization" type="select" label="Realization based on different seed values" selected="false"> <options from_file="coyote.loc"> <column name="name" index="4"/> <column name="value" index="4"/> <filter type="param_value" ref="inputmodel" column="2"/> <filter type="param_value" ref="inputSize" column="3"/> <filter type="unique_value" column="4"/> </options> </param> <param name="input" type="select" size="300" label="Input Snapshot" area="True" help="Choosing Input Snapshot files" selected="false"> <options from_file="coyote.loc"> <column name="name" index="6"/> <column name="value" index="6"/> <filter type="param_value" ref="inputmodel" column="2”/> <filter type="param_value" ref="inputSize" column=“3"/> <filter type="param_value" ref="inputRealization" column="4"/> </options> </param> Did you figure out where the problem is? Thanks, Saba

FTP password and web interface password
by Yec'han Laizet 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

Hello, I set up a FTP server with SFTP support on my galaxy instance. I have a strange behavior when trying to connect by SFTP. Some users cannot authentify (access denied) whereas other can. As all users can login to the web interface with their credentials, I wanted to check if the length of the password could be the problem with SFTP. To do so, I went to the admin interface to reset the password of a user who could connect by SFTP. Then, this user can connect to the galaxy web interface with the new password but not by SFTP ; if we use the old password, it still works for SFTP authenfication as if both passwords are independent. Could you help me to solve the problem?

upload error
by ruiwang.sz 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hi Guys, Our galaxy instance has been in use for a couple years but since Feb 2014 it started to show us some weird behavior. Recently the upload function suddenly stopped working properly. We are getting messages like the following. I'm not sure if this only happens to us. If someone has seen this before, please give me some hints. P.S., I searched online and many says that this is because the browser does not wait till all the data from the server is received and closes the socket. However it happens both in firefox and chrome. I'm wondering if it is because galaxy has any change recently but when I do 'hg update stable' it reported that it is up to date. Thanks!

Pick-you-own columns in BLAST+ tabular output
by Peter Cock 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hello all, I've mentioned before that a forthcoming update to the BLAST+ Galaxy wrappers would be adding a most customisable output option with pick-your-own columns. This is available to test now from the Test Tool Shed, along with other enhancements like more masking tools and an update to BLAST+ 2.2.29: http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/ncbi_blast_plus (This will be released as the ncbi_blast_plus wrappers v0.1.0, and includes recent contributions from Jim Johnson and Björn Grüning - thank you both): Previously (for tabular output) we've only offered the standard 12 column output (-outfmt 6), and an extended set which has grown to currently include 25 columns. The new custom column mode offers the 12 standard columns, and the extended set (making 25 columns), plus other (to me less interesting) identifiers, some other miscellaneous columns, and the taxonomy columns (44 columns in all): [image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 2] As previously discussed, the list of columns has been grouped - the first two groups reflect the standard 12 columns and the columns used in Galaxy's (default) 25 column extended tabular output. The remaining columns I have split into three groups (assorted identifiers, miscellaneous, and taxonomy) which I hope is self explanatory. Note that this does *not* allow you pick the column order - they will be produced in the order shown. The underlying BLAST+ tools would support this, but the Galaxy GUI would I feel be too complicated. Some community testing/comments would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter
