Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Asked by Sarif Khan

Dear MG5 Developer,

I am using the MG5 v2_3_3. I am getting following kind of message when I launch the process:

INFO: compile directory
Gtk-Message: 19:05:42.942: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 19:05:42.943: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Although I have all the modules of Gtk and there is no problem in calculating the cross section apart from the above message.

If same UFO file I use at the current version of MG5 V2_8_2, I get the following error:

CRITICAL: It is likely that your UFO model is NOT python3 compatible.
 Most common issue with python2/3 compatibility can be solve with the "convert model" command of MG5aMC.
WARNING: If you want to try that automatic conversion please run:
WARNING: convert model /home/sarif/Documents/packages/MG5_aMC_v2_8_2/models/Standard_Model_UFO

I also used the "convert model /home/sarif/Documents/packages/MG5_aMC_v2_8_2/models/Standard_Model_UFO "

but it did not solve the problem.

Can you please help me in solving the above two issues?

Best regards,
Sarif Khan

Hi,

> Gtk-Message: 19:05:42.943: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

This is likely a message from your web-browser or somethinng not directly releated to MG5aMC

> If same UFO file I use at the current version of MG5 V2_8_2, I get the following error:

I would need more information about this.
This is likely a python2 syntax that does not be correctly converted to python3.
So I can not comment without the full debug file and/or the model

Cheers,

Olivier

The message about "canberra-gtk-module" is just a warning and should not do any harm. You can usually get rid of the message by installing some additional packages, e.g. on Ubuntu the required command is
sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module
