Gets Around
I am trying to perform pseudo surface with adsorbed molecule optimization with smearing, similar to the example in the plane wave section but it aborts with this cryptic error. My error is below, suggestiosn how to solve this particular error and improve my setup of calculating adsorbed molecules on surfaces would be appreciated
