Question

OS: Ubuntu 18.04

ROS Version: Melodic

CUDA Version: 10.0 (Not Used)

Qt version: 5.9.5

Build Type: From Source

I have followed the instructions from https://gitlab.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.ai/autoware/wikis/Source-Build to build from source.

And installed all required dependencies. Went with the build 1.12.0 and compiled without CUDA.

Here is the output from build process and there doesn't seem to be any issues with it apart from some warnings: https://gist.github.com/xmfcx/15ba41aa62c93e25ab2108a794c6d909

And followed the instructions from https://gitlab.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.ai/autoware/wikis/ROSBAG-Demo

cd autoware.ai
source install/setup.bash
roslaunch runtime_manager runtime_manager.launch

And some window comes and disappears immediately and this is the output:

mfc@mfc-P65:~/projects/autoware.ai$ roslaunch runtime_manager runtime_manager.launch 
... logging to /home/mfc/.ros/log/d149ba46-e8e7-11e9-b3d8-00d861077e93/roslaunch-mfc-P65-15311.log

And instead if I run it with rosrun,

mfc@mfc-P65:~/projects/autoware.ai$ rosrun runtime_manager run

[sudo] password for mfc:

After entering the password, it instacrashes after showing a window for less than a second again.

There is no error report, I don't even know how to debug it since this autoware.ai/install/runtime_manager/share/runtime_manager/scripts/run file is a bash script that runs other terminals or python scripts.

Answer 1

So, I ran rosrun runtime_manager runtime_manager_dialog.py and it worked.

Then I thought, it should open another terminal but it isn't, so maybe it's about the terminal I am using.

I use xfce4-terminal with no modifications apart from using a color scheme natively.

In the autoware.ai/install/runtime_manager/share/runtime_manager/scripts/run script here,

if [ $(which mate-terminal) ]; then
    TERMINAL=mate-terminal
elif [ $(which xfce4-terminal) ]; then
    TERMINAL=xfce4-terminal
elif [ $(which lxterminal) ]; then
    TERMINAL=lxterminal
elif [ $(which konsole) ]; then
    TERMINAL=konsole
    OPTION_WORKING_DIR='--workdir'
    OPTION_CORE_GEOMETRY=''
    OPTION_RM_GEOMETRY=''
    OPTION_PM_GEOMETRY=''
    OPTION_COMMAND='-e'
    OPTION_TITLE='-T'
fi

it is checking between various terminals so I started trying these terminals.

Tried xterm, lxterminal and still same response from running rosrun runtime_manager run

Then I tried the ugly mate-terminal and it just worked. Not sure why but I couldn't make it work with xfce4-terminal, lxterminal, xterm. But works with mate-terminal.

I won't install/try konsole because it is trying to install so many KDE related dependencies.

I would like to hear if it can work with xfce4-terminal too.

I have the same problem, same setup, and this solution works. I agree that this is likely an open bug with terminal compatibility.

Answer 2

I used source install/local_setup.bash instead of source install/setup.bash and it worked.

Autoware 1.12.0 crashes as it's launched.
