TPSS all electron calculation Convergence problem

Which version of cp2k are you running? Could you try updating to the latest 
version (2.6) and see if that improves things?

I got similar output to you with an old 2.5 executable, but 2.6 from mid 
March converges OK (but with some warnings from qs_vxc_atom).
