Error in MUMPS INFO(1) = - 8and INFO(2) = 236

I am using the MUMPS to solve a nonlinear variational problem:

    mysolver.parameters("newton_solver")["linear_solver"] = "mumps";
    mysolver.solve();

and I got the following error:

Solving nonlinear variational problem.
  Newton iteration 0: r (abs) = -nan (tol = 1.000e-10) r (rel) = -nan (tol = 1.000e-09)

I am quite confused with the error code of MUMPS and couldn't find a explanation to that.
Thank you for help!
