Workflow annotations and history peek problem
by SHAUN WEBB 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hi, I'm wondering if it would be possible to make workflow annotations visible when running a workflow, currently they are only visible when a shared workflow is viewed. We create workflows for various galaxy users and it would be useful to provide instructions next to each step where user input is required. Required input is not always clear in the context of a workflow. Also, since the last update of galaxy I am having issues with the peek view on history items. The dataset expands to show the extra information but immediately collapses again. Thanks Shaun Webb -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

No, this would be a bug. There were a number of bugs like this that I fixed a month or so ago. Could you check your Galaxy version?

[Fwd: Galaxy tool error report from golharam@umdnj.edu]
by Ryan Golhar 04 May '10

04 May '10

Hi all - I'm trying to plot the data from a fastq file uploaded to my local instance. When I rung the boxplot app on the uploaded file, I get this error. It has something to do with the parameters to plot in gnuplot not being right. I don't know gnuplot well enough (at all actually) so I don't know what is wrong. The error show is in reference to 'tmargin', but actually I think it has something to do with the whiskerbars parameter. How do I know this? When I run: gnuplot> plot '/mnt/ibmfcarray/galaxydata/database/files/000/dataset_46.dat' using 1:7:11:12:9 with candlesticks lt 1 lw 1 title 'Quartiles' I see a plot, but when I add gnuplot> plot '/mnt/ibmfcarray/galaxydata/database/files/000/dataset_46.dat' using 1:7:11:12:9 with candlesticks lt 1 lw 1 title 'Quartiles' whiskerbars, I get the same error.

Hi Bastien, Please make sure to cc the galaxy-user and galaxy-dev lists as they help your questions reach a wider audience. In fact, I'm sure there are people on these lists that have more DB knowledge than myself. That said, you're spot on in your thinking. Galaxy uses a single database (galaxy, in your case), so you can setup a "Galaxy" mysql user to have rights only on that DB; specifying localhost provides another layer of security as well. Best, J.

Asking for Galaxy main public instance support, thanks!
by WangJun 04 May '10

04 May '10

Hello Dr Greg Von Kuster, We are developing a Rice Genome Browser: Rice-Map. I am writing to ask if you can add our resource to your main public instance so that users can get data from Rice-Map and do analysis in your platform conveniently. Steps for adding Rice-Map: 1. Add tool definition file "cbi_rmap_browser.xml" under tools/data_source directory (attached). 2. Add this tool into file "tool_conf.xml" in the "Get Data" section: <tool file="data_source/cbi_rmap_browser.xml" /> Thank you in advance! Best wishes, Kathleen Center for Bioinformatics Peking University

Configuring MySQL for Galaxy (and vice versa)
by Chevreux, Bastien 03 May '10

03 May '10

Dear Galaxy devs, I'd like to try a Galaxy installation with a database connection and have it use a freshly installed MySQL. It's a Kubuntu system where I just installed all needed packages, MySQL is up and running fine. In the Galaxy "universe_wsgi.ini" I commented out the sqlite entry and activated the one for a DB connection and it now shows now this: database_connection =mysql:///galaxy?unix_socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock database_engine_option_echo = true database_engine_option_echo_pool = true database_engine_option_pool_size = 10 database_engine_option_max_overflow = 20 database_engine_option_pool_recycle = 7200 What I can't find in the online documents (Wiki) or via a Google search is: 1) how to tell Galaxy it should use a given MySQL user, because using "sh run.sh" then stops with these errors: ... galaxy.model.migrate.check DEBUG 2010-05-03 15:15:27,151 MySQL_python egg successfully loaded for mysql dialect 2010-05-03 15:15:27,187 INFO sqlalchemy.pool.QueuePool.0x...4f90 Error on connect(): (OperationalError) (1045, "Access denied for user 'bach'@'localhost' (using password: NO)") None None sqlalchemy.pool.QueuePool.0x...4f90 INFO 2010-05-03 15:15:27,187 Error on connect(): (OperationalError) (1045, "Access denied for user 'bach'@'localhost' (using password: NO)") None None Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bioinf/wwwservices/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/web/buildapp.py", line 61, in app_factory app = UniverseApplication( global_conf = global_conf, **kwargs ) ... which is somewhat understandable as such user does not exist in the mysql database. I'm currently trying out Galaxy under my own account, in the end however it will run as separate user. 2) perhaps also important: should the mysql admin setup users, tables and other stuff in mysql? If so: which, how ... etc. Regards, Bastien PS: in case it's important: the hg clone is from "galaxy-dist", march 17. -- DSM Nutritional Products AG R&D Human Nutrition & Health Bioinformatics - Bldg. 203 / 115 P.O.

Galaxy issue
by Modi, Amit 02 May '10

02 May '10

Hi, We are trying to configure Galaxy to work with our tool. So far I have been able to configure it well and link it with the cluster to do process all the jobs as per the documentation . Now what we want is the before the actual processing starts the validations for the input files are done on the Local. And the job processing is done on the cluster. Is there anyway we can configure this. We are using sge on the cluster. Thanks a lot.

tiny usability issue - cloning vs. importing shared history
by Assaf Gordon 02 May '10

02 May '10

Hi, I've noticed a small usability annoyance with shared histories. Scenario: A user shared a history with me. The new history appears in the "Histories shared with you by others" page. I click on the history name, get a popup menu with three options: View, Clone, Unshare. If I choose "clone", the history is cloned and appears in my "saved history". If I choose "view" (and look at the library) then click on the green import button, I get a red error message: "The owner of this history has disabled imports via this link. You can return to the previous page." I understand that "cloning" is technically different from "import via link", but conceptually, the end result is the same - I should get the shared history into my histories. So it's quite confusing when I get this error message. Since I'm slightly familiar with Galaxy, I realized that the correct thing to do is go back to the list of shared-histories, then "clone" instead of import. An inexperienced user might think that something is wrong with the sharing. Somewhat related: After importing a history via link, the "start using this history" link does not work if the current history a non-empty. To reproduce: 1. go to http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/ 2. click "options" -> "create new". 3. current history is empty. 4. go to http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/history/list_published 5. select any one of the histories (e.g. "SM_1186088") 6. Click on the green plus button to import the history. 7. The following message is displayed: History "imported: SM_1186088" has been imported. You can start using this history or return to the previous page. 8. click on "start using this history", you'll be back on the main galaxy web site, with this new history selected. So far, so good. Now, repeat steps 1-8, but instead of creating a new, empty history (step 2,3), select a non-empty history or upload some dummy data set. After clicking "start using this history" (step 8) you'll be at the *old* history, not the newly imported one. -gordon

grouping and sorting error at a bare local installation
by Jordi Rambla 02 May '10

02 May '10

Hi, I'm quite new to Galaxy and Python, but I have near 25 years of experience at computing (development, databases, web development, systems.) I've performed a local installation in order to learn Galaxy and it's "internals". In order to test the installation, I'm reproducing the Galaxy screencast tutorials locally. When reproducing the screencast named : "Finding Exons with the highest number of nucleotide polymorphisms", at step 4 (grouping and counting). I'm receiving the following error: "An error occurred running this job: Sorting input dataset resulted in error: 512: sort: multi-character tab `$\t'". Just to doublecheck, I've tried to just sort the dataset on column 4 (Name), and I'm receiving a quite similar error ("An error occurred running this job: sort: multi-character tab `$\t'"). I've tried to locate the error source at the configuration/ source code files. but found nothing promising on filters/sorter.py nor stats/grouping.py. Thus, I'm asking for a tip on where to look at. Thanks in advance. Jordi Rambla Universitat de Barcelona
