Conf files?
by Minh Bui 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Hi, I am running local galaxy and I just wrote a script that allowed me to create a config file for Gbrowse (*.conf) but I dont think Galaxy supports *.conf files. I tried to save the file but Galaxy saved it under "Download" name without extension . What can I do to make Galaxy supports *.conf files? Thank you, Minh.

Dynamically adding tools to Galaxy
by Sumedha Ganjoo 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Hello, I am a student at the University Of Georgia. We had developed a tool for Galaxy 1.3 that enables accessing various web services as tools from Galaxy. We are currently working on a similar tool for the current version of Galaxy. This requires adding a tool dynamically without having to restart Galaxy. I was wondering if someone has already implemented that feature? We do have most of the code for this in place. Is there a way, once complete, this code can be added to the main Galaxy source code? Also I would really appreciate if someone could tell me where can I find the older versions ( v 1.3 ) of Galaxy? Thanks in advance. Regards, Sumedha Sumedha Ganjoo Graduate Assistant Computer Science Department University Of Georgia

Question about galaxy
by Simon Lank 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Hi. We have a new server and are planning to dedicate it exclusively to Galaxy. We've previously set up galaxy on OS X, and Ubuntu. I'm wondering if you guys have a preferred linux distribution that you know works well for galaxy. We'd like to spend as little time configuring the dependencies as possible (we already spent a while getting things working in os x), so any advice on the most streamlined distribution (from galaxy's perspective) would be appreciated. Regards, Simon Simon Lank Associate Research Specialist O'Connor Lab, WNPRC 555 Science Dr. Madison WI (608) 265-3389

24 Jul '10

Hi, I am using local Galaxy on my computer. I would like to use megablast but I don't know how to add wgs and nt database to local galaxy (I am new to galaxy). 1. Where can I download those databases (if you dont mind, can you give me the link?) ? 2. How can I add those databases to galaxy? 3. What if I want to do BLASTN instead of megablast, how can I do that? Thank you very much,

Huge memory usage in latest Galaxy
by Assaf Gordon 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hello all, After upgrading to a recent version (47411bb09df4), memory usage reaches 12GB per python process after less then 48 hours (with normal usage by users). It only happens with the web-side processes, the job-runner process and the reports process are at their usual usage level. Debug is off and Interactive is off, The major change is that I've started using SGE (with DRMAA). Any tips would be very appreciated. -gordon

Hi! I am a new user. I have tried unsuccessfully to follow the steps in the screencasts for Metagenome Analysis with Galaxy. I have successfully uploaded the fasta file in .fas and .fna format from 454 sequencing. The dataset is some 150k plus sequences. I am unable to create a quality score format to proceed.

See the information about single tool archives below for additional hints to enable ease-of-use when others download your suite of tools. > > For example, to package the above Lastz suite of tools: > > user@host:~% tar jcvf ~/Desktop/galaxy_lastz_toolsuite.tar.bz2 > lastzsuite > lastzsuite/ > lastzsuite/README > lastzsuite/suite_config.xml > lastzsuite/lastz_paired_reads_wrapper.py > lastzsuite/lastz_paired_reads_wrapper.xml > lastzsuite/lastz_wrapper.py > lastzsuite/lastz_wrapper.xml > lastzsuite/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/ > lastzsuite/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/ > lastzsuite/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/Makefile > lastzsuite/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/version.mak > lastzsuite/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/lastz.c > lastzsuite/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/lastz.h > ... > ~/Desktop/galaxy_lastz_tool.tar.bz2 is now ready to be uploaded. > > Single Tool Archive > > A single tool archive must include a tool config file and will probably also include a tool script. If any steps are necessary to install your tool beyond the basic instructions below, include a README file to provide details. If the tool (or parts of it) are written in C, the source code can be included (or put links to the source in the README). Do not include pre-compiled binaries without source since Galaxy is run on a wide variety of platforms. Also, if you are only wrapping or providing a Galaxy config for a tool that is not your own, be sure the license allows for > redistribution before including any part of that tool in the archive. > > There are no requirements about the directory structure inside the archive, but for ease of use it's generally a good idea to put everything inside a sub-directory, instead of directly at the top level. > > For example, to package the Lastz tool's config file, Galaxy wrapper, and the C source: > > user@host:~% tar jcvf ~/Desktop/galaxy_lastz_tool.tar.bz2 lastz lastz/ > lastz/README > lastz/lastz_wrapper.py > lastz/lastz_wrapper.xml > lastz/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/ > lastz/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/ > lastz/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/Makefile > lastz/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/version.mak > lastz/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/lastz.c > lastz/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src/lastz.h > ... > ~/Desktop/galaxy_lastz_tool.tar.bz2 is now ready to be uploaded. > > Editing Information, Categories, and Submitting For Approval > > Simply uploading a tool to the Galaxy too shed will not allow other users to find and download your tool. It will need to be approved by an administrator before it appears in the tool list. > > After your archive has successfully uploaded, you will be redirected to the Edit Tool page. Provide a detailed description of what the tool does - this will be used by administrators to understand the tool before approving it for display on the site. Once approved, this information will be displayed to users who view your tool. In addition, the site > administrators will have configured a number of categories with which you can associate your tool to make it easy to find by users looking to solve specific problems. Associate as many categories as are relevant to your tool. You may change the description and associated categories as often as you'd like until you click the "Submit for approval" button. Once submitted, the tool will be approved or rejected by an administrator. If the tool is rejected, you will see information about why it was rejected, and you can make appropriate changes to the archive and re-submit it for approval. When it is approved, your archive will be visible to everyone. At that point, the description and associated categories can only be changed by an administrator. > > When the tool has been approved or rejected, you may upload a new version by browsing to the tool's "View Tool" page, clicking the "Tool actions" menu in the upper right corner of the page, and selecting "Upload a new version" from the menu. > > Downloading and Installing Tools > > A tool's download link will send you the tool archive. Once downloaded, unpack the tool on your local Galaxy instance's server: > > user@host:~% tar xvf galaxy_lastz_tool.tar > ... > user@host:~% tar zxvf galaxy_lastz_tool.tar.gz > ... > user@host:~% tar jxvf galaxy_lastz_tool.tar.bz2 > ... > If the archive includes a README file, consult it for installation instructions. If not, follow these basic steps: > Create a directory under galaxy_dist/tools/ to house downloaded tool(s). In the new directory, place the XML and any script file(s) which were contained in the archive. > If the tool includes binaries, you'll need to copy them to a directory on your $PATH. If the tool depends on C binaries but does not come with them (only source), you'll need to compile the source first. > Add the tool to galaxy_dist/tool_conf.xml. > Restart your Galaxy server process. > > In the near future, we plan to implement a more direct method to install tools via the Galaxy administrator user interface instead of placing files on the filesystem and manually managing the tool_conf.xml file. > > > > Greg Von Kuster > Galaxy Development Team > greg(a)bx.psu.edu > > > > _______________________________________________ > galaxy-user mailing list > galaxy-user(a)lists.bx.psu.edu > http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-user > -- F.
