      <pre wrap="">Dear pwscf_user,
    Recently, I used  the tb09 (Meta-GGA) in the version of QE5.1.2, but it aways did not converge.
The error is like, 
     'Error in routine cdiaghg (23):
     eigenvectors failed to converge'

I have performed too much tests on Ecutoff, k_points, degauss, as well as reduce mixing.  What should I do?


My input file is,
