Installed robostack from here

roscore seems to have started up fine, and I can run rviz as well.

Trying to follow the tutorials and start the tutrle sim, but I dont get a window. I assume there is a GUI package or something I am missing but I dont know what it is. I dont get any errors, I just never see a window.

 ~/catkin_ws  rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node     
 Starting turtlesim with node name /turtlesim
 Spawning turtle [turtle1] at x=[5.544445], y=[5.544445], theta=[0.000000]

Hello @Gwilym,

Can you please! confirm your Mac OS current version?

Big Sur version 11.2.3

Ros doesn't provide official support to Big Sur version 11.2.3, because of that you may face some issues.

Have a look at this link you will find the below statement:

We support macOS Mojave (10.14).

Thats a 3 years old now, I think its a bit much for me to downgrade my system to Mojave to get tutlebot to run. Is there no way we can try and find the issue?

hi @Gwilym

For turtlesim, please try:

mamba update ros-noetic-turtlesim

And check it has been properly installed by:

conda list

Reference: https://github.com/RoboStack/ros-noet... If the problem persists I suggest to raise an issue with the RoboStack team
