I am trying to do a single master. My ssh password-less is working just by typing as follow: ssh huey@10.42.0.3

IP of A is 10.42.0.2

master is A

IP of B is 10.42.0.3

<launch>

<machine 
    name = "robot" 
    address = "huey@10.42.0.3" 
    env-loader = "/opt/ros/indigo/env.sh"></machine>
<node
    pkg ="turtlesim" 
    type = "turtlesim_node"
    name="turtlesim"
    machine = "robot"></node>

</launch>

but i got this error

cannot resolve host address for machine [huey@10.42.0.3]
The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

Thanks

Try adding the user and address separately:

<machine 
name = "robot" 
address = "10.42.0.3" 
user = "huey"
env-loader = "/opt/ros/indigo/env.sh"></machine>

Hi chrissi, It gives other issue after this. remote[10.42.0.3-0]: failed to launch on master: 10.42.0.3 is not in your SSH known_hosts file. Please manually: ssh huey@10.42.0.3 then try roslaunching again.

This should solve that issue: http://answers.ros.org/question/41446...

Chrissi I almost got it to work. Based on the link you have me, this is what i put in the terminal:

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms='ssh-rsa' 10.42.0.3

But there is new error:

[10.42.0.3-0]: [turtlesim-1] process has died [pid 2638, exit code 1, cmd /opt/ros/indigo/lib/turtlesim`/turtlesim_node `__name:=turtlesim __log:=/home/huey/.ros/log/e75e45ec-a500-11e5-9a9d-f4b7e29bc4b5/turtlesim-1.log].`

when i do the roslaunch on my master laptop.

Can you run the turtlesim on the other machine without the ssh setup? Also, turtlesim does need a graphical user interface. I don't think that X forwarding will mwork like that. Try DISPLAY=:0 roslaunch ... which might then start the GUI on the remote machine instead of trying to forward it.

Never tried this though. If this doesn't work, start the turtlesim on the local machine.

Chrissi ( 2015-12-18 06:18:16 -0500 )edit

No, this won't work... I don't think you can start nodes that require X remotely using a launch file but I might be mistaken.

i see. I will just do a basic talker listener from ROS tutorial rather than turtlesim.
