<div><span style="font-family:Consolas,Courier,monospace">I followed your suggestions with regard to the previous email</span><span style="font-family:Consolas,Courier,monospace"> and attempted to rerun the calculations with more symmetric atomic positions,
but unfortunately, the error persists. Intriguingly, when I calculated the phonons at the gamma point, there was no error encountered.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:Consolas,Courier,monospace">In my pursuit of a solution, I came across a suggestion online (<a href="https://www.mail-archive.com/users@lists.quantum-espresso.org/msg33029.html" class="x_OWAAutoLink">https://www.mail-archive.com/users@lists.quantum-espresso.org/msg33029.html</a>)
to modify the file PW/src/wsweight.f90. Specifically, I tried changing the value of the parameter nx from 2 to 3, and also experimented with increasing eps to 1.d-5. Despite these attempts, the error persists.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:Consolas,Courier,monospace">I am reaching out to inquire if there are any other suggestions or potential solutions you might recommend. I would be very grateful for any further insights you could provide.</span><br>

Not sure what the specific origin of your problem is, but I guess it is<br>
due to the small breaking of symmetry due to initial atomic positions +<br>
variable-cell noise + option "nosym" (that should not be used except in<br>
some special cases). Try to re-run the self-consistency with more<br>
symmetric atomic positions.<br>
