Hi Andrew,

After speaking with our compute cluster service providers, it seems like this error is due to FIPS being enabled on the cluster. Are there any existing solutions to FIPS conflicts with FreeSurfer?

Thanks!

Hi Katja,

 

I wonder if this is related to possible security settings. I can’t replicate this, but can you send your license file so that we can narrow down the possibilities? You can send it directly to my email, off-list.

 

Best

Andrew

Hi all,

 

I am trying to run a single subject through FreeSurfer 7.1.1 via Singularity image (pulled from the FreeSurfer DockerHub) like this:

export SINGULARITYENV_FS_LICENSE=/mnt/22Q/images/license.txt
export SINGULARITYENV_SUBJECTS_DIR=/mnt/22Q/data/freesurfer
 
singularity exec --cleanenv -B /project/bbl_projects/22Q/:/mnt/22Q \
/project/bbl_projects/22Q/images/freesurfer_7.1.1.sif \
recon-all -s sub-17867 -i /mnt/22Q/data/bids_directory/sub-17867/ses-22Q1/anat/sub-17867_ses-22Q1_T1w.nii.gz -all

But it fails quickly with error message: 

ERROR: crypt() returned null with 4-line file

Do you know what might be causing this error message? How can I address this?

Additional info:

  1. FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-linux-centos6_x86_64-7.1.1-20200723-8b40551
  2. uname -a: Linux singularity01 3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 12 16:57:42 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
