No! 

That was just a test to see if the convert of ImageMagick works OK.


Looking back into your original email, I realized the following:

ERROR : while executing exec /usr/bin/convert /home/revival/xcrys_temp/xc_5886/tmp.ppm /home/revival/File-file konversi/LOCPOT.jpg

You have the whitespace in the directory path. This whitespace is
likely the source of problem. Note that it is not recommended to have
whitespaces in directory names in Unix-like OS. This can break many
things.

To verify whether this is really the source of the problem, you should
execute some xcrysden example (i.e. File-->XCrySDen examples ...) from
e.g. your home directory "/home/revival". Try to print into JPG then.
