Hello,
I _might_ be doing something wrong when calling KSPSetFromOptions/KSPSetUp, but still, am I supposed to get this kind of error?
[0]PETSC ERROR: No support for this operation for this object type
[0]PETSC ERROR: KSP gmres does not support PRECONDITIONED with RIGHT

If not, I’ll try to send a MWE (it basically depends on where I set the option -ksp_pc_side right).

I believe its telling you that it cannot display the preconditioned residual with right preconditioning, which is true.
Are you requesting both?

No, I’m just using -ksp_view and -ksp_pc_side right. In the “standard” case, it obviously work.
However, the error is triggered if I set -ksp_pc_side right after a first call to KSPSetOperators()/KSPSetUp() without destroying the KSP.
Should I destroy my KSP before changing from left- (default) to right-preconditioning if KSPSetOperators()/KSPSetUp has already been called?

Its likely you have to use

  http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/KSP/KSPSetNormType.html

or

  -ksp_norm_type unpreconditioned
 
since we would not have a chance to change it since its been set already.

  Thanks,

Thanks.
