Pythia8 shower interrupted

hi,

I guess that this is for a matched/merge generation (with MLM?)
The best person to contact in that case is Stefan Prestel.
The segfault is likely to be in the MG5-PY8 interface and he is the one who wrote it (and an author of PY8).

Cheers,

Olivier

I got the same error than other users about parallel computation, so I changed nb_core to 1. However, now I get the following message:

Hi Olivier,
Thank you so much for your suggestion, I will contact him.
If you don't mind, I still have a quick question: how can I generate my events using multicore, and then run pythia (when it works) with single-core?

I really appreciate your help,
Sebastian

Hi all,
Is there any new information about how to solve this problem? I would really appreciate any help because I've tried in a new computer, with the most recent version of both MG5 and Pythia8 and nothing works.

Thank you in advance,
Sebastian
