Dear all, I get the following error while running LAMMPS on ubuntu without an internet connection.

Invalid error code (-2) (error ring index 127 invalid) Invalid error code (-2) (error ring index 127 invalid) INTERNAL ERROR: invalid error code fffffffe (Ring Index out of range) in MPID_nem_tcp_init:373 Fatal error in PMPI_Init: Other MPI error, error stack: MPIR_Init_thread(586)..............: MPID_Init(224).....................: channel initialization failed MPIDI_CH3_Init(105)................: MPID_nem_init(324).................: MPID_nem_tcp_init(175).............: MPID_nem_tcp_get_business_card(401): MPID_nem_tcp_init(373).............: gethostbyname failed, hirakjyoti-HP-dx2480-MT-KL969AV (errno 0)

But if the PC is connected to internet LAMMPS successfully run. How can i solve the problem?

This looks like a local hostname resolution issue. Maybe you could just add your hostname (presumably “hirakjyoti-……”) to the localhost entry in /etc/hosts and then when offline you’d resolve over loopback? Assuming it’s a single machine. tony
