It wouldn't. I am not even sure how you're viewing POXDesk at all given the commandline you're using. You probably need to run at least the web, messenger, messenger.ajax_transport and poxdesk components for poxdesk.terminal to work.
In short: start with the suggested commandline and *add* poxdesk.terminal: ./pox.py samples.pretty_log web messenger messenger.log_service messenger.ajax_transport openflow.of_service poxdesk poxdesk.terminal -- Murphy On Feb 6, 2014, at 10:35 PM, Rizwan Jamil <u_r_wel...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Dears! > > I am using Mininet VM installed on my VMWare Workstation on Windows XP SP3. > In my Mininet VM, I have successfully followed all instructions mentioned on: > https://github.com/MurphyMc/poxdesk/wiki/Getting-Started > > But when opened, the Terminal window in POXDesk GUI displays the following > message: > Connecting to channel terminalbA5ZZVC........... > > Moreover, when I run the command "./pox.py poxdesk.terminal" from the Mininet > terminal, the following is displayed: > POX 0.1.0 (betta) / Copyright 2011-2013 James McCauley, et al. > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/home/mininet/pox/pox/boot.py", line 459, in boot > if _do_launch(argv): > File "/home/mininet/pox/pox/boot.py", line 199, in _do_launch > f(**params) > File "/home/mininet/pox/ext/poxdesk/terminal.py", line 122, in launch > core.registerNew(TerminalMaster) > File "/home/mininet/pox/pox/core.py", line 356, in registerNew > obj = __componentClass(*args, **kw) > File "/home/mininet/pox/ext/poxdesk/terminal.py", line 44, in __init__ > core.MessengerNexus.default_bot.add_bot(TerminalBot) > File "/home/mininet/pox/pox/core.py", line 530, in __getattr__ > raise AttributeError("'%s' not registered" % (name,)) > AttributeError: 'MessengerNexus' not registered > > Please Help!
