ROS_MASTER_URI: host is not set to this machine

Opened this issue · 0 comments

When running the example in 10-ros-remote, roscore will complain about an incorrect set IP. While this is technically true (the IP of the HOST is used, which differs from the local IP of the VM), communication with roscore will still be possible. Issues when using remote-launch files will occur as these use the hostname of the VM.

A possible solution might lay in a different connection of the VM with the HOST. Currently this is nat-attached, while bridged might solve this issue. See: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html.

Since this requires the rewrite and retest of several steps, it will not be updated anytime soon.
