After minimal_launch sucessful connect to turtlebot, rapp manger error, which doesn't allow remo_con nor android Remocon and Teleop to work. This after verifying installation of remocon package. Turtlebot keyboard teleop and rviz view_model.launch works good.

Here are what I believe are correct network settings on RemotePc (copernicus) and Netbook(herschel)

Netbook (turtlebot ros_host) ....part of .bashrc

## ROS Master(roscore)/ROS_Host on Copernicus/Herschel
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://copernicus.local:11311
export ROS_HOSTNAME=herschel.local
export ROS_IP=copernicus.local

ross@copernicus:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   herschel

RemotePC (roscore ros master) ....part of .basic

## ROS Master (roscore) & Host on ross-Copernicus workstation (zeroconf)
export ROS_HOSTNAME=copernicus.local
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://copernicus.local:11311
export ROS_IP=copernicus.local

turtlebot@herschel:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   copernicus

NetbookPC (ROS_HOST) minimal.launch log after connection to base.

First thing that pops out to me is that you're using both ROS_HOSTNAME and ROS_IP and giving a hostname to ROS_IP. These are mutually exclusive and ROS_HOSTNAME will take precedence if both are used. See http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/EnvironmentVa...

Could you solve this problem?
