Reason: PETSc error code is: 60

Hi all,

I'm solving a non linear variational problem with snes solver in Fenicse 2017.1.0 and get this error:

RuntimeError:

The snes solver I'm using is

snes_solver_parameters_bounds = {"nonlinear_solver": "snes",
                      #"reset_jacobian":True,
                      "symmetric": True,
                      "snes_solver": {"maximum_iterations": 100,
                                      "linear_solver": "cg",
                                      "preconditioner": "hypre_amg",
                                      "report": False,
                                      "line_search": "basic",
                                      "method":"vinewtonrsls",
                                      "absolute_tolerance":1e-3,
                                      "relative_tolerance":1e-3,
                                      "krylov_solver": {"absolute_tolerance":1e-3,
                                                        "relative_tolerance":1e-3},
                                      "lu_solver": {"reuse_factorization": False}}}

I tried to use different linear solver and preconditioner parameters inside the snes solver, but got the same error in the end. Furthermore, I found that if I loose the tolerance from 1e-3 to 1e-2 it run more steps, but eventually failed with the same error.

Any thoughts to fix this problem?

Thank you in advance.
