It looks like the ZenmapGUI is not correctly installed or is corrupted. You may need to update or reinstall Zenmap.

Try updating first by using "sudo apt update". If this doesn't work, try reinstalling it with "sudo apt install --reinstall zenmap".

Hi @Datsona13,

It seems like you're encountering a ModuleNotFoundError related to zenmapGUI when trying to launch Zenmap. This issue is commonly caused by incomplete installations or missing dependencies. Here’s how to troubleshoot and fix it:

1. Reinstall Zenmap

The first step is to ensure that Zenmap is installed correctly, and all necessary dependencies are included. You can reinstall Zenmap to fix any missing files:

For Ubuntu/Debian-based systems:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall zenmap

For Fedora-based systems:

sudo dnf reinstall zenmap

For macOS (using Homebrew):

brew reinstall zenmap

After reinstalling, try running Zenmap again.

2. Check Python Dependencies

Zenmap depends on the zenmapGUI module, which should be installed along with Zenmap. If it’s missing, you might need to install Python dependencies manually.

You can try installing the required module with pip:

pip install zenmap

Make sure you're using the right version of Python (for example, Python 2 or 3) depending on your system configuration.

3. Verify Zenmap Version

Ensure that you have the latest version of Zenmap. Zenmap 7.95 might be incompatible with your current system libraries, or there might be an issue specific to this release. You can check the Zenmap version by running:

zenmap --version

If you’re running an older or incompatible version, consider upgrading to a more stable release or downgrading if necessary.

4. Check the File Paths

It’s also possible that the zenmapGUI module is not located in the correct directory or the system PATH is not properly configured. You can check where Python is looking for modules by running:

python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"

Make sure that the directory containing zenmapGUI.py is in the list.

5. Ensure Proper Environment

If you’re running Zenmap inside a virtual environment, make sure the environment is activated, and the dependencies are properly installed within it.

6. Log and Debug Further

If the issue persists, try running Zenmap from the terminal with more verbose output to identify potential issues:

python -m zenmap

This might give you more details about what’s going wrong.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the ModuleNotFoundError and get Zenmap running again.

[Datsona13]

sudo nano /usr/bin/zenmap

#!/usr/bin/env python3

-- coding: utf-8 --

import re
import sys
from zenmapGUI.App import run
if name == 'main':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script.pyw|.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(run())

What should I change here?

I am receiving the same error under Manjaro.

The error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zenmapGUI'
indicates that Zenmap was not installed correctly or its Python modules are missing.
This commonly happens when:
The installation was incomplete
Zenmap was installed using pip instead of the system package manager
There is a Python version mismatch
Suggested Fix
Please reinstall Zenmap using your distribution’s package manager instead of pip.
For Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt remove zenmap
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zenmap
For Arch:
sudo pacman -S zenmap
After reinstalling, try running:
zenmap
If the issue persists, please share:
Your Linux distribution
How Zenmap was installed (apt, pacman, source, pip, etc.)
Output of python3 --version
That will help narrow down the issue.

The error shown is:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zenmapGUI'

This means Zenmap (the graphical interface for Nmap) cannot find one of its required Python modules.
Usually this happens because Zenmap was not installed correctly or some dependencies are missing.

WHY THIS HAPPENS

Common reasons:

1. Zenmap installation is incomplete or broken.
2. Required Python packages for Zenmap are missing.
3. Zenmap was installed for a different Python version.
4. System PATH or environment is misconfigured.

---

HOW TO FIX IT (STEP-BY-STEP)

1. Reinstall Zenmap properly

On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install zenmap

On Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S zenmap

After installing, try running:

zenmap

---

2. Make sure Nmap is installed

Check with:

nmap --version

If not installed:

sudo apt install nmap

---

3. Install missing Python dependencies

Some systems need GTK/Python packages:

sudo apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0

Then try running Zenmap again.

---

4. Run Zenmap with Python directly (test)

python3 /usr/bin/zenmap

If this works, the issue is likely PATH or launcher related.
