error in using lhapdf

What is the error/log when you run
opt/conda/bin/python3 /root/MG5_aMC_v3_5_6/bb0h/bin/internal/systematics.py unweighted_events.lhe.gz ./tmp_2_unweighted_events.lhe.gz --mur=0.5,1,2 --muf=0.5,1,2 --pdf=errorset,NNPDF23_lo_as_0119_qed --start_event=5000 --stop_event=7500 --result=./log_sys_2.txt --lhapdf_config=/root/MG5_aMC_v3_5_6/HEPTools/lhapdf6_py3/bin/lhapdf-config

Thanks for your quick reply,
There are log_sys_0.txt, log_sys_1.txt, log_sys_2.txt, log_sys_3.txt, all of them are empty file

I also had tied to import it in the Python by

python
>>> import lhapdf

but got

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lhapdf'

I dont know if there any connection between them.

And once i change the line into

  ['--mur=0.5,1,2', '--muf=0.5,1,2', '--pdf=errorset,lhapdf'] = systematics_arguments

it can run soomthly but gave

--2024-11-26 12:21:40-- https://lhapdfsets.web.cern.ch/current/lhapdf.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
WARNING: impossible to download all the pdfsets. Bypass systematics

obviously, i should keep the PDFset name, but gave the error in my main question. So i really get into dilema.

Oh, sorry i misunderstand your means, i run the three lines program and it gives

__main__.SystematicsError: Systematics not supported for pdlabel=none,chff,edff

Ok so systematics.py fails to understand that you are using pdf...
Can you copy-paste (or create a bug report such that you can attach file)
the content of your run_card.dat and provide information on the process that you are trying.
This is likely a combination of parameter between those two that make the script to think that you are not using PDF...

Cheers,

Olivier

maybe interesting to edit the line of systematics.py (167) following this patch:
 - raise SystematicsError('Systematics not supported for pdlabel=none,chff,edff')
+ raise SystematicsError('Systematics not supported for pdlabel=%s' % self.banner.run_card['pdlabel'])

This will give the information about which pdf, he thinks it is used.
But the issue is likely the fact that you use pdlabel1 and pdlabel2 and not pdlabel in this case.
normally since they are both the same, this should be set automatically to lhapdf, but clearly something went wrong...

my process is mu- mu+ > vm vm~ b b~ / h

I change the systematics.py (167), and i also change the variable in run card into

lhapdf = pdlabel

 but seems nothing changed:
