Installation problems

[xkhainguyen]

Hi,

I am running Ubuntu 20.04, ROS Noetic. I found these issues

rosdep install --from-paths . --ignore-src --os=ubuntu:focal -r -y
should be:
rosdep install --from-paths . --ignore-src -r -y
otherwise, it will be skipping some necessary packages like twist_tmux, joy and teleop_twist_joy

I cannot control it with keyboard_teleop

3. Trying to run Autonomous Navigation in Simulation

But rviz cannot load the costmap

[ WARN] [1688151405.841563169, 1634.490000000]: Timed out waiting for transform from base_link to tracking_camera_odom to become available before running costmap, tf error: canTransform: target_frame tracking_camera_odom does not exist.. canTransform returned after 1634.49 timeout was 0.1.

Thanks

Hey @xkhainguyen , I have just open an issue ticker regarding the 3rd point you mentioned about 'tracking_camera_odom'. In fact, the 'tracking_camera_odom' coordinate is not shown at all in RViz.

[xkhainguyen]

Thanks for your response!
How about:
2) when Iaunched, there is no sign of keyboard_teleop running
3) there is no map in RViz and the warning is from the OMPL launch

Hi,
thank you for reaching out.

1. happy it worked. Is actually strange but we always use this command for fresh installs. Thanks for finding the solution
2. Do keep the terminal selected while giving the inputs to keyboard_teleop? This only works if you select the terminal
3. Please look at tracking_camera_odom global frame not exist! #33

Let me know if everything works.
Have a nice day,
Davide

It seems that (3) can solve (2) as well. Thanks.
I hope you can update it to the tutorial.
