Thanks, Robin. The system admins are fixing some issues before I could create a module of amber12 for the user. The previous problem I have come in because some nodes on keeneland accidentally rolled back to old gpu driver version. The admins detected some nodes like this and fixed them already. We have no gpu on login node, so I am not sure you met the same problem.
