Hello,

First, I'd like to say that i read other topic that had this error but couldn't find any solution out of the 15 post i read.

I'm trying to do a navigation simulation using gazebo and rviz on ros kinetic and ubuntu 16.04.7.

In my navigation launch file I use 4 nodes which are move_base, amcl, map_server and rviz. Link of the files at the end of the post

The problem is that few seconds after launch I start get warning about the robot position which is apparently not received or outdated. The robot is displayed on rviz but cannot navigate at all.

This bellow is the warnings i get when i start navigation.launch I'm not sure to really understand the warnings.

Are the linux time-of-day clocks synchronized on every ROS node? Most people run either systemd-timesyncd or ntp to accomplish this.

You have specified map as the global frame for the global_costmap.

You need to publish map -> base_link transform. You can look at the gmapping package for that.

That's what i did. But the error keeps appearing. It might be due to the hardware tho because the program works on another computer without errors.
