ROS Noetic : roscore not found after sourcing the setup.bash, even no broken packages
I have dual booted my laptop with Ubuntu 20.04 along with Windows 10. Then I have tried ROS Noetic installation and followed each & every step correctly in the guide. But roscore & other commands are not working!
Followed official site: http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installati...
Steps followed so far after installation:
- Open a new terminal
Source the setup.bash for noetic --> source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash
ran roscore to test the installation
roscore
Command 'roscore' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install python3-roslaunch
Even tried to install roscore for noetic & it completes the installation without an error.
sudo apt install --reinstall ros-noetic-roslaunch
sourced the setup & tried again --> still not working with same roscore not found issue.
Checked Installation files --> It is available too.
ls /opt/ros/noetic/
bin include local_setup.sh setup.sh share env.sh lib local_setup.zsh _setup_util.py etc local_setup.bash setup.bash setup.zsh
ls /opt/ros/noetic/share/

Also I cannot see any ROS related env variables added after sourcing the setup.bash
source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash
printenv | grep ROS --> return nothing
Even checked fro broken packages --> dpkg -l | grep ^..r --> returns nothing( from https://askubuntu.com/questions/77265...)
I dont know what is the issue here. Please help me to figure it out.
Is your linux account running the bash shell? One way to check is the
pscommand. In my terminal the output looks like this:Yes, It is running the bash shell.
At the command line, please show us the output of:
env | grep ROSPlease help I am facing the same issue and when I enter env | grep ROS on terminal it returns nothing.
Thank you @Mike Scheutzow for being helpful.
Use following in your ~/.bashrc and restart a new terminal. Then I was able to use roscore. Sourcing it on the same terminal is not working. Same applied for ROS2 foxy in my case.
source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash
