Cannot Attach to running server

[TomLewis]

I just configured my first VPS, setup everything, got mark2 start a server (I can see it in my server list) But right at the very last step, I cant attach to the running servers console! I can't believe I got this far and it broke, I followed everything in the INSTALL.md & USAGE.md.

This is the error I get in my console:

tom@piratecraft:~/piratecraft/games$ mark2 attach games

Try: mark2 attach -n games

[TomLewis]

Sadly, same error.

Place this file in the server directory:

https://github.com/gsand/mark2/blob/master/samples/start.sh

Then...

Enter the server, and type /restart

It should stop the server, and terminate the funky mark2 session, and restart it.

If that doesn't work, enter the server, type /stop

Then go to /tmp/mark2 and delete the servername files.

[TomLewis]

I did these both in order, and neither fixed it :(

[gsand]

try

mark2 stop games

Then delete the servername files from /tmp/mark2

[TomLewis]

Nope, same error.

Join that IRC channel so we can try other things.

[gsand]

pip install urwid --upgrade should fix it

[TomLewis]

YES! This loads the UI now, Thanks @gsand
