Dear all, I am unable to crack this one since 2 days. I have two identical laptop machines (named uldor and shagrat), with identical user accounts and would like to remotely roslaunch launch files between them. Machines are in the same well configured network, I can ssh between them without a problem.

ROS: fuerte LINUX: 12.04

Upon running the launch file on the source machine I get the following error:

started roslaunch server http://192.168.148.253:36893/ remote[uldor-0] starting roslaunch remote[uldor-0]: creating ssh connection to uldor:22 launching remote roslaunch child with command: [env ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311 /home/demo/work/lawnmower/install/env.sh roslaunch -c uldor-0 -u http://192.168.148.253:36893/ --run_id 07005bda-6cf9-11e2-a777-606720c4eca8] remote[uldor-0]: ssh connection created [uldor-0] process has died remote roslaunch failed to launch: uldor

My uldor.machine file:

<launch>
<machine name="shagrat" address="shagrat" default="true"/>
<machine name="$(env MACHINE)" address="$(env MACHINE)" env-loader="$(env  ROS_ENV_LOADER)"/>
</launch>

The launch file that I am trying to run remotely is at the moment super simple and contains only 2 lines:

<launch>
<include file="$(find lawnmower_demos_hackathon)/launch/uldor.machine" />
<node name="tf" pkg="tf" type="tf_monitor" machine="$(env MACHINE)"/>
</launch>

Appreciate your suggestions, D.
