Failing to set some PETSc command-line parameters

+1 vote

I am using version 1.3 of Dolfin, etc., from the Ubuntu repository.
I would like to access PETSc command-line parameters, but it doesn't seem to work.
I use parameters.parse() to activate the command-line and then
mpirun -np 2 python f1A.py --petsc.log_summary
This results in some printed output:
Process 1: Passing options to PETSc: -log_summary
Process 1: Initializing PETSc with given command-line arguments.
with the same message from Process 0.

BUT I get no log_summary! What am I doing wrong?
