Thank you, Paolo for the trick.

Really this error disappear but the calculation to silicon atom in a big box don't converge. I did 100 interactions and the convergency isn't reach.

Can someone get me a direction in this simple calculus? Maybe I'm missing  the setup of some input variable do pwscf.

thanks,
