#3962: GRASS 7.8.1 GUI doesn't run on Pop! OS 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04) because of "ImportError: cannot import name 'NewIdRef'" -----------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: rorschach | Owner: grass-dev@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.2 Component: wxGUI | Version: git-releasebranch78 Keywords: | CPU: x86-64 Platform: Linux | -----------------------+--------------------------------- Hi everyone,
I installed GRASS 7.8.1 via the ubuntugis-unstable repository on my machine running Pop! OS 18.04 (based on Ubuntu 18.04). When I run GRASS, this error occurs: {{{ Starting GRASS GIS... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/grass78/gui/wxpython/gis_set.py", line 43, in <module> from startup.guiutils import SetSessionMapset, NewMapsetDialog File "/usr/lib/grass78/gui/wxpython/startup/guiutils.py", line 25, in <module> from gui_core.dialogs import TextEntryDialog File "/usr/lib/grass78/gui/wxpython/gui_core/dialogs.py", line 50, in <module> from gui_core.gselect import LocationSelect, MapsetSelect, Select, \ File "/usr/lib/grass78/gui/wxpython/gui_core/gselect.py", line 64, in <module> from gui_core.widgets import ManageSettingsWidget, CoordinatesValidator File "/usr/lib/grass78/gui/wxpython/gui_core/widgets.py", line 92, in <module> from gui_core.wrap import Button, SearchCtrl, StaticText, StaticBox, \ File "/usr/lib/grass78/gui/wxpython/gui_core/wrap.py", line 39, in <module> from wx import NewIdRef as NewId ImportError: cannot import name 'NewIdRef' ERROR: Error in GUI startup. See messages above (if any) and if necessary, please report this error to the GRASS developers. On systems with package manager, make sure you have the right GUI package, probably named grass-gui, installed. To run GRASS GIS in text mode use the --text flag. Use '--help' for further options grass78 --help See also: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass78/manuals/helptext.html Exiting... }}} I checked the module in question (wx). The said module isn't available on the default Python (python2) of my machine. {{{ Python 2.7.15+ (default, Oct 7 2019, 17:39:04) [GCC 7.4.0] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import wx Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named wx >>> }}} It is however available on my machine's Python 3. {{{ Python 3.6.8 (default, Oct 7 2019, 12:59:55) [GCC 8.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import wx >>> wx.__version__ '4.0.1' >>> }}} When I try to import NewIdRef, it doesn't exist but NewId does. {{{ Python 3.6.8 (default, Oct 7 2019, 12:59:55) [GCC 8.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import wx >>> from wx import NewIdRef Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: cannot import name 'NewIdRef' >>> from wx import NewId >>> }}} Finally, GRASS text mode works. It really is just the GUI that fails. Thanks everyone! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/3962> GRASS GIS <https://grass.osgeo.org>
