[CP2K-user] DFT+U calculation with KPOINTS

Dear CP2K users,

I would like to perform a DFT+U calculation with LaFeO3 perovskite. 
However, I have met the following error for KPOINTS setting and I am not 
sure where is the problem from. Could you kindly help me with this? It 
would be significantly appreciated for your help.

Another question is that is it ok to set two BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME within one 
input file, as I checked that there is no basis set for La in the 
BASIS_MOLOPT file.

For your reference, I run this calculation on my laptop with cp2k.popt 
version 5.1. I also attach the input file here for your information. Thanks.
