[CP2K-user] [CP2K:21625] Re: DFTB calculations KILLED BY SIGNAL: 9 (Killed)

[bijaya pathak]

Dear Konstantin, 
Thank you so much for your reply. I am not sure if I know correctly to get 
the `dmesg`  output. I tried using dmesg | grep "error" and it printed a 
lot of things I could not understand. How to get information out of it 
regarding my issue ?
