[Pw_forum] problem plotting graphene band structure

Dear Experts,

I am beginner of QE. As part of the practice, I am extracting the basic
structural and electronic properties of simple semiconducting materials, 1D
and 2D structures. Things were fine untill i tried graphene. However, I
stuck with graphene band structure for the last 3 days. As a beginner, I
have done everything i can to resolve the problem. when i try to plot the
band structure of 2 atom graphene, either i get a wrong band gap or an
empty plot.

Here I am attaching the SCF code and Bandstructure code. Can someone please
verify and tell me where the problem is.

*SCF code:-*

&CONTROL
  calculation='scf',
  outdir='.',
  prefix='pwscf',
  pseudo_dir='.',
  verbosity='low',
  tprnfor=.true.,

  ecutwfc=30,
  ecutrho=120,
  input_dft='pbe',
  occupations='smearing',
  smearing='mv',
  degauss=0.005d0,
