Hi Dieter, I guess next time look for "python" in the process table and also note its "state" column (titled "S"). You may not be able to kill the process if its state is "Z" (zombie process) or "U" (uninterruptible wait). Regardless, try to kill it with "kill -s KILL process_id". --Eric

Dear Greg,
as I stated, I moved the chimera windows to the bottom of the screen and finally to another workspace. A day later, chimera had closed. So I suspect that it is just a matter of time until it closes.... Something seems to very much retard its reaction to mouse clicks! I shall continue observing and use the 'Report a Bug' if it occurs again....
thanks again, best, Dieter

Chimera will show up as "python" in the process table. That's one of the fixes we made with ChimeraX, it shows up as ChimeraX. If you haven't done so already, when running Chimera, please use the Help / Report a Bug... dialog so we have a record of how your current system is configured (version of Linux, graphics driver version, etc.). Are you still running Chimera remotely using VirtualGL? If so, please state that in the description.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi,
it happened again: after the message that the loading of a map was very slow chimera got stuck and I cannot get rid of its windows. If I open something else it overlays the chimera windows. ps -ealf|grep chimera just shows me a single process, namely the one of ps. Please see attached screenshots! For the moment I can push the chimera windows out of view but I cannot close them. I possibly have to reboot again....
thanks for hints, bw Dieter

Dear Tom and Eric,
thank you! In the meantime I finally decided to reboot! The situation is difficult to reproduce but happens once within several months either because of a very slow network (when we experience general problems with the server) or because there is something wrong in a saved and then modified session file. However, I cannot exclude that the cause is something else! Fact is that I then cannot close any of the chimera windows, they simply stay open despite having killed all related processes.
Could it be caused from working remotely over VNC? But when restarting the VNC server and then restarting Chimera it usually happens again! When I observe it next time I'll try "kill -s KILL process_id" and also take screen shots. As I am the only user rebooting is not a problem!
best, Dieter

Hi Dieter,
I am curious what you are using in Chimera that uses the network when you have to kill it? I tried fetching a large EM map (10860, ~500 Mbytes) from EMDB with File / Fetch by ID on Mac, then I turned off my wifi part way through and tried ctrl-C in the shell where I had started Chimera 1.14. One try it exited the program, and the second try it gave a keyboard interrupt message and Chimera was no longer hung. If I left my wifi on then the stop button in the lower left corner of the Chimera window at the front of the status messages successfully stopped the download. But if I disconnected the wifi, that stop button didn't work.
Maybe you are on Linux or maybe Chimera is hung on some web service you are using like BLAST....

Hi Dieter, Instead of "kill process_id" try "kill -s KILL process_id".

When I then try exiting it or killing it with <ctrl> c from the terminal I used to start it or killing the chimera-related process as shown with ps -ealf|grep UCSF or grep chimera the chimera windows remain and I cannot remove them.
