[Pw_forum] Could not find the mode symmetry after phonon frequency calculation of gamma point

[Sitangshu Bhattacharya]

Dear Zhishuo,

Check your scf report file. This same mode symmetry should be mentioned
there. If it is there, replace with a proper pseudo. These things comes
when pseudos are not well tested at the initial level.

Regards,
Sitangshu
