Hi

I cant find any special  'upgrade'  version ( as I found mentioned in some old thread) . Do I need to download and install afresh? I work on a 32 bit Ubuntu machine. What happens to the subjects already processed ? Do I need to run them again? I dont know why it worked for my previous subjects and now it doesnt.

Thanks


Barnali

this is almost certainly a bug that is fixed in the current version. Try updating and let us know if it doesn't fix the problem

Experts,

I have been working on Freesurfer last 5 months and initially the recon
processes were within normal time limits.

However, I am working on a different set of subjects now and its consuming
days together. For my current data,autorecon1 is fine, it stops at a
particular point in autorecon2 for infinity. Any suggestions would be
helpful.

I am pasting the autorecon2 process here:
