ns3.26 net anim not working

[nobody s]

Good day:

I installed ns3.26 on my ubuntu14.04 and still having the same bug with the visualizer, when running the color-link-description.cc  the nodes are not changing color
 and when the script is run the following message follows

Could not load icon applets-screenshooter due to missing gnomedesktop Python module
Could not load icon gnome-terminal due to missing gnomedesktop Python module

I try to install the pythongnome2desktop but is not available so also i tried installing

python-wnck
python-rsvg
python-gnomekeyring

as well as using the synaptic package manager and installing

python-gnome2-desktop-dev
python-gnpme2-dev
python-gnome2
python-gnome2-doc

and still getting the message

Is there something i'm missing maybe re-build or re configure waf?

please help

Please read the posting guidelines.

The more pressure you put, the LESS inclined we are in helping you.

Moreover, this error is due to your inability to use your own computer (and to use any internet search engine). I'm not totally sure that helping you in fixing this is the best thing to do. You should learn to help yourself instead.

Try searching for "gnome-python-desktop ubuntu 14.04", seriously.

I have been reading a lot of your "support," to othrr guys
U are pretty rude and disrespective, but dont worry i figure it
My self with help of some one in the forum that does your work better
Than unand more polite, u inabilty to support and aid people
Just shows a problem with you attitude.
So to every one that does not follow completely the "guidelines" or just have a little bit jard time since not everyone come from programming bacground me and the guy in this forum that helped me put together some tutorial sep by step wiki and specially NOT RUDE AND NOT UNPOLITE as tomasso hs shown

https://github.com/balart40/big_data_iteso_phd_public/wiki/NS3_with_MANET

We are suppose yo be engineers and people, we are suppose tohelp eachother no matter how stupid the question is ,i really do not understand what u plan to achieve with your violent and agresive answers since ive seen you are doing this to a lotmof people in other forums

[Tommaso Pecorella]

Look, I'm not THAT rude usually.

However I'm totally rude with people thinking that their problem is of the uttermost importance and post a question 3 times in a row on different threads. This goes against the most basic Internet netiquette, let alone the one of this group.

About your problem, the THIRD link in the search engine (the first two would have lead there anyway) points to this:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-python-desktop

which is the package you're missing. How comes that I find it and I'm not even using Ubuntu ?

Last but not least, you shout against me and our "support". Remember that this is a open source project, and we're doing our best to support users. All on our spare time.

Moreover, we put our face and we don't hide behind anonymous or hidden profiles. You know who I am, I have an e-mail, a photo and a profile.

You, on the other hand, are insulting us from a profile called "nobody s". 

Be my guest in doing so, but I'm even less impressed by your arguments.

Last thing, let me explain to you.

You ask: "i really do not understand what u plan to achieve with your violent and agresive answers"

I already told it: "You should learn to help yourself instead.".

Your text shows that:

1) You didn't understand the point of "help yourself". You can not rely on others helping you - not in real works. If you want to be helped for such a small thing, you're on the bad track.

2) You should learn to write in English - this is not twitter. U for you, i not capitalized, agressive misspelled. All of this means that you know English but you didn't take your time to write the message (and re-read it). Anger and rush are bad basics to ask or receive help.

Summarizing: you're young and you must learn. learn humility and patience. Otherwise you'll get a degree in engineering (maybe) but you'll never be an engineer.

There is NO EXCUSE TO BE RUDE.

Thanks for providing the link, I appreciate it, little bit too late a friend of the forum helped me very gentle and educated and specially FRIENDLY.

Regarding the support, I understand you do this in your spare time, and i really a that nevertheless of your spare time, but if you are going to do something do it good or don't do it, and here i mean again THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO BE RUDE

Really tomasso what you expect by making me feel dumb, minimizing me degrading me and worst in public?
And now aggain aggresively telling I'm Not even will br an engineer, violence, hate and rude is just will generate the same thing violence and hate and rudeness.

Now you attack my profile, is as old as 15 years, but i will make another account for this, im not hidding my Name is Francisco Eduardo Balart Sanchez, email: bala...@gmail.com so there you go, i forgot about the profile pic since is an old account, i think i already updated to show my face. So as you said not impressed with your argument either.

I agree with what you said about learning to help my self and i will try harder and learn, hope you do the same about being rude.

Finally i agree also i will try to write better

So summarizing I learned a couple of things here, I just hope you too, cause really I observe your answers to
To others and are rude, really man, you can't deny that you can send the same message without rudeness, there is no excuse for that, hope you are humble enough to meditate about that. On the other hand I understand, you contribute to this open source project and even morr you support, I imagine besides that you have a life a work, etc so I Congratulate you and say thanks for that, and kind of understand to see my kind of questions annoying so I emphatize with that, but again no exuse for rudeness

I hope to learn and even more to contribute to this project, even colaborate with you man, thanks again for taking the time and hope You learn a couple of things as I already learned from you, for my this is not a debate I want to win, thanks again and I promise my next post will be posted after trying to help myself, googling and be sure is not already asmwered.

Please, no further comments along these lines.

Could I trouble the community for a posting of the original questioner's resolution? I understand the solution to be "properly install your packages."

However, as I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, I've installed the 4 packages indicated by:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/gnome-python-desktop

but the issue persists, which I think might be the behavior Mr Sanchez originally described. Further, I noticed that Mr Sanchez marked this issue as resolved over at:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ns-3-users/gnomedesktop|sort:relevance/ns-3-users/lp92giDs3bU/o_ZJ41ND-VYJ

but I wasn't able to find the details there, either. I understand the exasperation with package dependency questions, and that this isn't an Ubuntu-specific forum, but there seems to be a little nuance trip hazard here somewhere, and I think a posted solution is likely to help those of us who come up against this in the future. Thanks.

Good day:

I marked as complete by mistake (already unmarked) was a newbie back then,  i tried the solutions posted at:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ns-3-users/PyViz$20Installation%7Csort:relevance/ns-3-users/2jTS4vDnsks/-mFO61Owf1EJ

And it didn't work

This issue is also reported at: 

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ns-3-users/gnomedesktop%7Csort:relevance/ns-3-users/lp92giDs3bU/o_ZJ41ND-VYJ

The installation of the 

python-rsvg

python-rsvg
python-wnck

Also didn't work, the message is reported as part of the visualizer core.py at: 

ns-allinone-3.25/ns-3.25/src/visualizer/visualizer/core.py

lines 710-713

try:

    import gnomedesktop

except ImportError:

    sys.stderr.write("Could not load icon %s due to missing gnomedesktop Python module\n" % icon_name)

also i tried the suggestio  of using the synaptic package manager and installing

python-gnome2-desktop-dev
python-gnpme2-dev
python-gnome2
python-gnome2-doc

my current "hunch" is that 

• maybe gnomedesktop is no longer the appropriate import we should do and maybe now is gnome2dektop or something like that, or
•  that due to the python version or if you installed python or the other dependencies with or without sudo may have a impact, 

i still debugging this, but still not good results.

[Stefan Jevtic]

Yeah so, it is gnome-python-desktop that's needed, the others (rsvg, wnck etc...) do not contain the "find_icon" function that the visualizer needs.

According to the changelog (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/gnome-python-desktop/+changelog) and diff (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/139815256/gnome-python-desktop_2.32.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1_2.32.0+dfsg-3.diff.gz), the package we're concerned with has been dropped.  I'm going to put some more effort into this tonight, and open a bug with the (ubuntu) devs for those of us on 16.04 if I don't get it worked out. I'll post results here if/ when I do that. For you, I think it'll be a relatively quick fix (I'm assuming you're on 14.04). You ought to be able to install the old version of the package.

Try

sudo apt-get install gnome-python-desktop=2.32.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1

I'm not super confident that line will work, I'm new to this myself. But you ought to be able to play around with the command to get it to sing. You want revision 74 (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/gnome-python-desktop/trusty/changes/75?start_revid=75).
