Turtlebot on Gazebo not operatable

Please forgive this poorly formatted question, but Turtlebot on Gazebo is not operational. It used to be (in my experience at least October 10) working using turtlebot_teleop (which still publishes topic turtlebot_node/cmd_vel with certain values now). So I'm wondering there might have been update on turtlebot / gazebo side that could be causing this. I'm trying to use the packages that I haven't modified. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Environment: Ubuntu 11.04/10.10, ROS electric

How to reproduce:

roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo turtlebot_empty_world.launch
roslaunch turtlebot_teleop keyboard_teleop.launch

@Martin Günther thanks, do you mean you also experience similar/same phenom? If so do you start seeing it recently or from before? Just asking for giving more info for developers.

I mean I experience the same phenomenon (simulated turtlebot doesn't react when running above commands). Doesn't work now (turtlebot_simulator 0.1.13), used to work a few weeks ago.
