Uploaded files not previewing at random
by Sanka, Ravi 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Greetings, Since yesterday, I have been experiencing an unusual problem with Uploading files. Seemingly at random, an uploaded will finish successfully (history item in green) but no preview is available. Under the title of the item, the keyword "empty" is found and preview box says "no peek". Such an item cannot be previewed or downloaded; attempts to do so result in this error displayed in the browser: """"""""""""""" OK The requested URL /datasets/{API ID}/display/ was not found on this server. ________________________________ Apache/2.2.25 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.25 OpenSSL/1.0.0-fips DAV/2 Server at <our galaxy URL> Port 80 """"""""""""""" However, the Full Path of the item is still valid and, when viewed in command line, shows all the data. Furthermore, the item can still be used in tools and so forth. I and other users have tried multiple attempts at uploading the exact, same file (a small FASTA) and the results are the same: sometimes this issue is present, other times it is not. There seems to be no pattern nor are there any errors in the paster.log. ---------------------------------------------- Ravi Sanka ICS – Sr. Bioinformatics Engineer J.

Cluster jobs running as real user
by Shane Sturrock 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Has anyone had any success in getting cluster jobs running as the real user? I've got our server happily working with LSF via drmaa but all jobs run as the galaxy user and I would like to be able to separate out the jobs on a per user basis. I've followed the instructions at https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster#Submitting_… but I'm having no luck with it so was wondering if someone would know how I might debug it, like where could I find the script it is trying to execute? All I'm getting is code 18: invalid LSF job id although it does seem to be creating files in my databases/tmp directory owned by the user.

Unable to share data
by Sanka, Ravi 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Greetings, I and another individual are attempting to test Galaxy's ability to share data. We have attempted to share histories and workflows, selecting only each other's user email address for people to allow sharing with. All cases have failed, we go to the Shared Data section in both accounts, but nothing appears. Is there some kind of parameter in a config file that must be set to enable sharing? ---------------------------------------------- Ravi Sanka ICS – Sr. Bioinformatics Engineer J.

Graph Datatypes
by Björn Grüning 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hi, we are currently working on a few graph based tools and we would like to add some new graph-datatypes, namely: gspan, gml, gexf, graphml, pajek. I saw that xgmml and sif are already integrated into core-galaxy and I'm wondering if a PR with these new datatypes would be appropriate or a new toolshed repository? Also, are there any plans to enhance graphview in the near future? Thanks, Bjoern

reference genome
by Changyu Fan 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

Dear Sir or Madam, We have installed our local Galaxy server and everything looks fine. But there are some issues with reference genome index. The BWA and Mageblast is working. Here is how bwa_index.loc looks like: hg18full hg18 Human (Homo sapiens): hg18 Full /u03/galaxy/galaxy_data/hg18/seq/hg18full.fa But Bowtie2, Bowtie, Lastz do not work. When we choose "use a built-in index",nothing is listed in "Select a reference genome:" option. The bowtie2_indices.loc looks like hg18 hg18 Human(hg18) /u03/galaxy/galaxy_data/hg18/hg18full/bowtie2_index/hg18full Here is the directory of bowtie2_index. -rw-rw-r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 964771848 Jan 28 13:41 hg18full.1.bt2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 720355432 Jan 28 13:41 hg18full.2.bt2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 77255 Jan 28 12:49 hg18full.3.bt2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 720355424 Jan 28 12:49 hg18full.4.bt2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 galaxy galaxy 21 Jan 28 12:47 hg18full.fa -> ../../seq/hg18full.fa -rw-rw-r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 964771848 Jan 28 14:38 hg18full.rev.1.bt2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 galaxy galaxy 720355432 Jan 28 14:38 hg18full.rev.2.bt2 We did double check that the tabs was not replaced by multiple spaces in the .loc files. And Galaxy server was restarted each time we changed .loc file. However, There is still no reference is available through the NGS: mapping Bowtie2. How should we debug this? We could not find any errors. Is there any log file we should look into? Anything we missed here? Thanks a lot. Changyu

Display history.id in History Panel
by julie dubois 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

Hi all, In a local instance of Galaxy, I rename all outputs of my users and redirect their in a directory named with their usermail galaxy and then in a directory named with the history.id. To help them to retrieve their datasets, I want to display the history.idat the top of the History left panel, for example near the name of the history. Can you say me which file(s) should I modify and how to display this information ? Thanks a lot. Julie
