output file with no desktop

[shumyster]

Running EC2 instance of ubuntu 18.04, no desktop.

Even though I installed the python-tk (sudo apt-get install python-tk), I get the following stacktrace which has been mentioned in other issue reports:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "aws_inventory.py", line 320, in

self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

running the python -m command also showed the same output

sudo python -m Tkinter

What I am looking for is the output file of the scan. I can offload the ~/aws-inventory/gui directory to my Win desktop, get the gui working, but looking for the data file to upload.
not sure if the scan produced an output file due to the error above, but if it has, please provide output location.

Thanks.

Same issue here, can't find the output file

If you're using Ubuntu or any other *nix distro, you can use xvfb to create a virtual screen, that will make it finish.
Something like this:
apt-get install -y xvfb
xvfb-run python aws_inventory.py

Cleaning out issues. Would you be able to try the develop branch, which shifted to Python 3 support, to see if that works better?

Tested with python3 and develop branch with docker. I got my inventory.json file inside the gui folder
