Hi everyone, I'm new to ROS and try to do the NAV2 tutorial for a university project. Everything worked until i tried to launch in the "SEtting up the URDF"-part.

I use Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS2 galactic. I also installed the used packages: sudo apt install ros-<ros2-distro>-joint-state-publisher-gui sudo apt install ros-<ros2-distro>-xacro

After building with colcon and calling the setup.bash in my project, I get the following error:

[INFO] [launch]: All log files can be found below /home/valentin/.ros/log/2022-05-17-06-33-09-822486-valentin-7458

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

ROS2 wasn't initialized correctly. If you have the same Error, check your ros setup and don't forget to source the setup files.

How is this an helpful answer? Wat about Ros2 wasn't set up correctly? What part of the Ros setup should I check?
