I'm following the NAV2 tutorial and this is what happens:

I have everything installed:

sudo apt install ros-humble-navigation2
sudo apt install ros-humble-nav2-bringup
sudo apt install ros-humble-turtlebot3*
sudo apt-get install ros-humble-turtlebot3-gazebo

Then I set the key environment variables:

source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle
export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:/opt/ros/humble/share/turtlebot3_gazebo/models

Then after running:

ros2 launch nav2_bringup tb3_simulation_launch.py headless:=False

I rush to rviz, set the 2D pose estimation as quick as I can and end up with this in the terminal:

There is no need to rush to rviz to set the pose. You can do this whenever you want.

It seems like gazebo is not starting properly. Start it alone with gazebo --verbose and make sure it starts properly. Also with the gazebo path defined. It will download a lot of stuff in the beginning. If this is all good, try the launch file again.

But with the headless:=false it should also show gazebo with the turtlebot and environment. Only then you must set the initial pose.

I started gazebo using gazebo --verbose then I closed it. I then sourced my enviroment and ran ros2 launch nav2_bringup tb3_simulation_launch.py headless:=False and it finally worked.
