trex v3.05 on Ubuntu 24.04 with Kernel 6.8 and Python 3.12 doesn't work

[freddy.b...@gmail.com]

Hi,

We are deploying a baremetal ubutnu in a beefy server with 56core and 768G RAM

The server is a UCS 240 with severals NIC including a Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit (4 ports) and a Cisco VIC 1455 (4 Ports) all of them at 10GigE

OS is Ubuntu 24.04

6.8.0-39-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jul  5 21:49:14 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Python is version 3.12

Scapy is version 2.5

When trying to use ./dpdk_setup_ports.py -i this parsing errors appears

/opt/trex/v3.04/./dpdk_setup_ports.py:62: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\d'
  _2hex_re = '[\da-fA-F]{2}'
/opt/trex/v3.04/./dpdk_setup_ports.py:511: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\d'
  ofed_ver_re = re.compile('.*[-](\d)(\d)?[.](\d)(\d)?[-].*')
/opt/trex/v3.04/./dpdk_setup_ports.py:863: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\s'
  ifname_re = re.compile('iface\s*=\s*([^\s,]+)')

Those Warning messages shows all over at any command

The current config is for loop testing
cat /etc/trex_loop_cfg.yaml

Start the trex server on interactive mode error out with missing scapy server, and even if you start it with the --no-scapy-server flag, the trex-console does not work

sudo ./trex-console -s 127.0.0.1

Using 'python3' as Python interpeter

I have been trying some other combination but nothing seems to fix the issue.

any guidance will be appreciated
