<p>
Thank you Paolo, these suggestions are very useful.
</p>
<p>
I have revised the input file (I am intend to execute a GW calculation by following wannier90 guide example 23, herein, setting diagonalization = 'cg' and the selection of pseudopotential are following here), while I still have some questions here.
</p>
<p>
1) firstly, I used occupations = 'tetrahedra_opt'(the out1 file in attachments), it gets a warning in line 24 but gets job done. Is this set in related to the crystal? Is this method suitable for my system?
</p>
<p>
2) secondly, I set smearing in input file (the scf file), I set it to cold by using generator (<a href="https://www.materialscloud.org/work/tools/qeinputgenerator">https://www.materialscloud.org/work/tools/qeinputgenerator</a>), while the error suggests to using gaussian. So I deleted the cold set. And the error is back to k-points (the out file in attachments).
</p>
<p>
3) as your suggestion, does it mean that if I want to set tot_magnetization I should know a possible range in magnetization about my system at least?<br>
All best,
</p>

these must be the cosines, not the angles. Luckily they are ignored for ibrav=4of angles, not the <br>

don't use this option unless you have a good reason to <br>

<div>
because if you don't constrain the magnetization and don't break the symmetry, you don't get any magnetization;
</div>
<div>
if you don't constrain the magnetization but break the symmetry and leave the system find its preferred magnetization, you need to allow for fractional occupancies;
if you constrain the magnetization, you also constrain occupancies

you made something else from what you describe: there is nothing wrong in card k_points.<br>

I am afraid that this will be a dead cycle. So I am here to seeking some suggestions, sincerely.
