I am in the process of attempting to install URSim Polyscope 5.10 in a VM running Ubuntu 18.04. I have managed to get around the mess of Java version issues, and copied over the `/sbin/net-statistics` file from the non-linux offline simulator (not sure where I was meant to get this file from…) When I try to set a static ip address in the system section of the polyscope settings, the IP address is changed back to 0.0.0.0 when I hit apply, and an error pops up on the terminal running the URSim stating that it cannot find “/sbin/easybot-controller”. Any ideas what that file is, why that error comes up? Also more on topic, any pointers to how I can set an IP address for URSim? Happy to dump outputs of any other commands etc if that would help ```auto --- 127.0.0.53 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.035/0.035/0.035/0.000 ms /tmp/8fbc918a-5e06-40f1-a757-34d83ddf02a6.sh: line 1: /sbin/easybot-controller: No such file or directory Mode:static Net up Address: Mask: Gateway:10.0.2.2 nameserver1:127.0.0.53 nameserver2: Hostname:4230 PING 127.0.0.53 (127.0.0.53) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 127.0.0.53: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.022 ms ``` ```auto $ ifconfig eth0: flags=4163 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.2.255 inet6 fe80::f861:b562:1233:c600 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20 ether 08:00:27:41:a0:4c txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 16938 bytes 12485092 (12.4 MB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 12614 bytes 1662612 (1.6 MB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 lo: flags=73 mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10 loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) RX packets 1673892 bytes 1356654443 (1.3 GB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 1673892 bytes 1356654443 (1.3 GB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 ``` ---

Maybe you can get some inspiration from [Installing on Ubuntu 16.04](https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/hot-to-install-ursim-5-10-on-ubtuntu-16-04-lts/13088). I’m not sure why you insist on configuring network through polyscope. Just configure it with usual ubuntu tools. Network settings tab is only useful on real robot. ---

Thanks for the link, I found that along the way of installing URSim and it helped fix some of the bugs/flaws in the installation process. I am attempting to connect ROS to the URSim, which requires an IP address. I managed to get ROS connected to the URSim on ip 0.0.0.0 but I am still having a few issues with ROS that I am in the process of trying to work through. ---

The VM environment is probably already assigning an IP address. If you open a command prompt within the same VM as polyscope you should be able to issue an ifconfig command and see what the IP address is for polyscope. Setting it from polyscope will not work. ---

Turns out the net-statistics script, which is required by the URSim but not provided with the linux installation (that + java 8 vs 11 issues really needs fixing…) was incompatible with Ubuntu 18.04. I updated the parser and URSim behaves as expected with obtaining the local IP address. [Fix bug in ifconfig parsing · ljden/URSim\_Install\_Guides@ae6c220 · GitHub](https://github.com/ljden/URSim_Install_Guides/commit/ae6c2206c8cd921020bfe61dc82f12a8c77179f7) I’m still having other (possibly) network related issues, but I will open a new thread for those ---
