URL Connection Prbs using Marvin

[hplana]

Describe the bug
I have several prbs installing Marvin on Ubuntu. When doing import marvin in python, I have series of errors mentioning an outdated matplotlib, when is the current v3.3.4 version.

I then try to import a map following oen of the example:

import copy
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from marvin.tools.maps import Maps
maps = Maps(plateifu='8711-6102')

Then I have a warning + error:

[WARNING]: Cannot retrieve URLMap. Remote functionality will not work: Requests Connection Error: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='dr17.sdss.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /marvin/api/general/getroutemap?release=DR17&compression=json (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f74034b54a8>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution',)) (MarvinUserWarning)

raise BrainError('No URL Map found. Cannot make remote call')
brain.core.exceptions.BrainError: No URL Map found. Cannot make remote call

I quite do not understand if the prb is coming from the installation or from a connection error.

I hope you can help me
Thanks a lot

My system is Ubuntu 16.04 and marvin is the last version available on the web site.

Can you try updating to 2.8.1 and see if you get the same error?
