This is a transform problem. The laser measurements are published in the base_laser coordinate frame, but rviz is trying to display them in the "laser" or "map" coordinate frame. Set your fixed frame to "base_laser" and you should see the data displayed. If you want to use another frame you need to make sure TF transforms are published to connect base_laser to your other frames (for instance by using http://wiki.ros.org/robot_state_publi... and a urdf)

Did you add the laser topic in rviz? What frame is the laser scan in? What is your fixed_frame in rviz?
these are my settings https://www.dropbox.com/s/z9a6hcspwipq19q/rviz.jpg the error under LaserScan Status is :- Transform [sender=/sicklms] For frame [laser]: Fixed Frame [base_laser] does not exist i tried editing the fixed_frame as map , still didnt work
