"Old" Makehzman will not start

Postby Minihawk » Wed May 20, 2020 7:53 am

I have tried to install makehuman on my arch linux cause the old installation stopped working.

I was able to install the actual git-version, but it has some problems on my notbook on the small display with sliders (contents are pushed together instead of scrolling) and other problems-
So i downloaded the bitbucket-stable-version and tried to start it.

There is a python script inside named "download_assets.py", and the start of this brings the same errors the arch linux installation shows:

Code: Select all
Refreshing assets from repository "base" (version 1.1)
Connecting to FTP...
Retrieving new repository content...
Traceback (most recent call last):nts
  File "./download_assets.py", line 333, in <module>
    newContents = getFTPContents(ftp)
  File "./download_assets.py", line 198, in getFTPContents
    contentsList = walkFTP(ftp)
  File "./download_assets.py", line 179, in walkFTP
    mtime = ftp.sendcmd('MDTM %s' % fname)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ftplib.py", line 251, in sendcmd
    return self.getresp()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ftplib.py", line 226, in getresp
    raise error_perm, resp
ftplib.error_perm: 550 I can only retrieve regular files


Any hint what to change to get the downloads done?

I found a solution, but this is no way for everyone.
I had my old data from the version i sued before, and copied all the files inside the data directory to the new version, and it works.

There should be a way to download all assets from the FTP without using a python scrips that can crash or be obsolete, perhaps by using a zip-file for all needed data.

If using the up to date git version, you could use download_assets_git instead. This requires that you have installed LFS support for git though.

The bitbucket version is very, very old, and I'm not sure the files it tries to download actually exist anymore.
