warning: error on integrated density

I would recommend running without symmetry first, and then to use those vectors as a start for one with symmetry. It looks like you have a bad initial guess and this messes up the symmetry.

Hello,

My last few calculations have not been failing, but this error message seems to keep appearing:

I am not sure what it means, and how to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated.
