Error while Executing "Make all" code for Quantum Espresso in Colab

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues executing "Make all" code for Quantum Espresso in Google Colab, primarily due to problems with symbolic links and pre-installed libraries. Despite attempts to install various versions of Quantum Espresso, persistent errors occur during the file creation process. The limitations of the Colab virtual machine environment contribute to these challenges, as users have noted similar difficulties with other installations, such as Selenium. Running Quantum Espresso locally or on cloud services like Google Run or Amazon EC2 may provide a more reliable solution. Overall, users are advised to consider alternatives to Colab for better compatibility with Quantum Espresso.

TL;DR Summary
There are some tutorials showing how to install and run Quantum Espresso in both Ubuntu and Google Colab. It seems work fine months ago, now it always show some error and pw.x isn't compiled
Good evening,

Now I start learning Quantum Espresso and I tried to install it on Google Colab, since I already get convenient and its my habit to do all computation in Physics using google Colab. Sometimes I rent cloud gpu if I need bigger RAM and GPU when I have heavy load. You can see the colab here: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Ntt-uhYk3yGdtEHfHdP4Crbb_H3jaCCn?usp=sharing

It seems like Google Colab had problem with symbolic link, but it also seems because some libraries already installed. You can see the output error under the Colab's code in the beginning.

Meanwhile in the end, there are so many error when I tried to make file for Quantum Espresso, no matter I tried to install different versions of Quantum Espresso. The error still there.

It's pretty common to run into issues with the Colab virtual machine environment. Just last week I was trying to install Selenium on Colab and it just wouldn't work. Google locks down what you can do. It's likely best to run this locally or run in an instance like Google Run or Amazon EC2.
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
