I've been following this tutorial, http://wiki.ros.org/hector_slam/Tutor... , but I never got past step 4. My OS version - Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm running ROS Indigo.

I get the following error:

Patrick@grimreaper:~$ rosbag play Team_Hector_MappingBox_RoboCup_2011_Rescue_Arena.bag  --clock

[ INFO] [1410114868.718453773]: Opening Team_Hector_MappingBox_RoboCup_2011_Rescue_Arena.bag
[FATAL] [1410114868.719106803]: Error opening file: Team_Hector_MappingBox_RoboCup_2011_Rescue_Arena.bag

[EDIT]

Patrick@grimreaper:~$ rosbag info Team_Hector_MappingBox_RoboCup_2011_Rescue_Arena.bag
ERROR reading Team_Hector_MappingBox_RoboCup_2011_Rescue_Arena.bag: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Team_Hector_MappingBox_RoboCup_2011_Rescue_Arena.bag'

But the file was successfully downloaded,

Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

It looks like you downloaded the bag file to your ROS directory ( ~/ROSthings ) but you're trying to run the playback tool from a different directory.

Does it work if you cd into your ROS directory before running rosbag?

Hey, the .bag file opened but there wasn't any real time map generation in RVIZ. My impression was based on the point cloud data, RVIZ will generate a map, but nothing happened. Am I missing something?

Did you check map added in rviz panel and map topic is selected?

Ah. yes. It worked. I wish they told that in the wiki, that desired topics, pointcloud,map or path etc should be selected from the panel.
