Troubleshooting

  1. Error while launch a node on remote host: ''bash: rosrun: command not found''
      To run a node on remote host, an SSH connection will be established without setting any enviroment variables. Try to comment out in .bashrc:
      #[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
  2. The `Node Manager` crashes on load a launch file with error: ''QSpiAccessible::accessibleEvent not handled: "8008"''
      This "bug" seems to be resolved by removing the ''qt-at-spi'' package.
  3. You don't see the correct output of your nodes.
      Try to change your default terminal:
      sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
