I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on two different Virtual Box.

I set the network mode as Bridge, that retrieves IP address from my router (Apple Airport).

The machine #1 has 10.0.1.24 The machine #2 has 10.0.1.25.

I ran the roscore in machine #1. And 'rosnode list' on machine #2.

But I don't know why roscore of machine #1 does not show up in machine #2.

Can you edit your question to explain exactly what you're seeing and what you expect the output to be. roscore is not itself a node and will not show up on rosnode list.

You need to set ROS_MASTER_URI as Martin said, but you may also need to set ROS_HOSTNAME. See http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/MultipleMachines for a full tutorial.

First, ensure that port 11311 on machine #1 is reachable from machine #2. Then, you have to set the environment variable ROS_MASTER_URI appropriately. In your setup, run the following commands in a terminal on machine #2:

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://10.0.1.24:11311
rosnode list

The first line has to be executed in each terminal that is supposed to connect to the master on machine #1. Alternatively, you can add it to your ~/.bashrc file (assuming your shell is Bash), and close and re-open all running terminals.

Thank you. I can connect to roscore from machine #2. But, another problem.

I would like to control turtle (turtlesim example) in #1 using #2 keyboard.

So in #1,

$ rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node

And in #2,

$ rosrun turtlesim turtle_teleop_key

However, I couldn't control. And I also ran the 'rxgraph' util, it seems not connected.

What's the problem?
