Hello. I'm trying to set up my Turtlebot for the first time. I'm following the tutorial http://www.ros.org/wiki/turtlebot_bringup/Tutorials/TurtleBot%20Bringup and everything is successful until the following:

turtlebot@turtlebot-laptop:~/ros/turtlebot/turtlebot_bringup/upstart$ rosrun turtlebot_dashboard turtlebot_dashboard&

I think there could be a problem with the way you installed ROS. Did you do a source based installation or apt-get install ros-electric-turtlebot-viz?

Check that $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH is set to /opt/ros/electric/stacks and also to your workspace.

Add the line

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/electric/stacks:(your_path)

to your .bashrc file

replace (your_path) with ~/ros_workspace if your ros_workspace directory is in your home directory.
