hi, I am having trouble launching roscore. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 in a virtualbox VM. This is after rebooting the machine so I have no other ROS processes running. I am able to ping sn-VirtualBox2 just fine I have previously had no problems running ros. ANy insights would be appreciated

sn:/opt/ros/indigo$ roscore

It seems like something else is listening on port 11311. You may want to double-check that another roscore isn't running (search running process for "ros": ps aux | grep -i ros), and you can also look at which process have open ports with netstat -tlnp
