Hey Greg,

I found your question while I was looking for something else, but I might be helpful. We do something similar with our students, in that they maintain an electronic (GoogleDocs) annotation notebook. So for every gene they annotate in DNAMaster, they also have a more complete entry with screenshots in our shared GoogleDrive folder. So we have all the HHPred screenshots (whether it supported a function or not). It's not the complete report, but it does show the alignment/top hits and their e-values, etc.

Sorry you didn't get any suggestions earlier!
Nikki

Close up of the table that appears upon opening, that lists the errors. Note that clicking the "download from FTP site" also doesn't fix the problem.

The second is attached here. I can't remember when exactly it appears, but shortly after closing out the first. I think it pops up when you try to open a file. Note that it will let you proceed… but then it craps out and fails.

Hello hive-mind!
We are having issues with DNA Master upon start-up. This is only happening to our 2 new instructors that have recently downloaded and installed DNA Master (back in December, I think). One is running it on a PC, the other in the Wine bottle on a Mac. I've included the screenshots below from the PC. It appears as though the program is actually missing pieces (like it installed incorrectly), but uninstalling and re-downloading/re-installing is not fixing the errors. Please help! Those of us that had DNA Master installed previously are not encountering these errors. I'm concerned that our students will also encounter this issue…
(Please note that I also posted this in the "Annotation" forum about a week ago, but haven't received any responses yet. I figured this was a more appropriate place to post my question).

Thanks! Additional images of the errors in subsequent messages. Attached is the first error message to appear upon startup.

First error message, encountered upon opening DNA Master is found above. The second is attached here. I can't remember when exactly it appears, but shortly after closing out the first.

Thanks, Welkin. I was just encountering this in our A4 phage, and was wondering "what's up with that?!" I haven't looked closely yet for any slippery sequences, but it's not another frameshift that we're seeing? Neat!

Thanks a bunch, Dan! Entering the "phage" password did the trick. As a side note, it appears that we may have encountered this problem by "force shutting down" Phamerator. Today, a student had this password request appear after re-starting Phamerator after it had been prematurely closed.

Thanks again,
Nikki

Hi all,

I've had this happen to a couple of students in the last week. In one case, it fixed itself, in the others, we're still encountering the problem. Please note that in all cases, Phamerator was working just fine previously.

Upon attempting to open Phamerator, a password is being required that we don't have. We can't even open it without this passkey. The box that pops up says: "Database Setup Required. Paherator needs to set up your database. Please enter your root database password." I know how to change the database, but I can't even access the Edit menu to do so when this happens.

Thanks for your help!

Nikki
