When trying to echo what certain topics are publishing I was executing ros2 topic echo <name-of-the-topic> and it wasn't able to echo nothing at all. I used rqt-graph to see if the topics and nodes appeared there and they do, so I used both commands ros2 topic list and ros2 node list to see if they appeared there, and they don't.

To be accurate, when using ros2 node list the list appears empty and when using ros2 topic list 2 values appear: \parameter_events and \rosout.

You'll need to provide more detail here. Is this a multi-machine setup? Is there some node you're running that should be providing data?

If ros2 topic list is showing only \parameter_events and rosout only, then I am afraid there are no nodes running

@cst0 It is all in the same machine, I'm just running a simulation in Gazebo where I'm spawning a robot and gazebo publish some info of various sensors.

Regarding @aarsh_t, when I use rqt-graph nodes and topics related to the simulation do appear.

Can you upload the screenshot of both in parallel?

Also added you points so you can display the rqt-graph requested by @aarsh_t.

@osilva@aarsh_t basically I decided to delete my current installation (actually, not that much of an installation, but a build) and decided to install through apt and it is working fine for now
