Hi,

I would like to use rviz in rqt, I'm using fuerte and Ubuntu 10.04. When I do:

rosrun rqt_rviz rqt_rviz

I get:

    /opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/rqt/rqt_gui/src/rqt_gui/roslib_plugin_provider.py:31: UserWarning: roslib.rospack is deprecated, please use rospkg
  import roslib.rospack
RosPluginlibPluginProvider::load_explicit_type(rqt_rviz/RViz) failed initializing plugin (plugin is not a nodelet)
PluginManager._load_plugin() could not load plugin "rqt_rviz/RViz":

    raise ImportError('RosPluginlibPluginProvider.load() could not load plugin "%s"' % plugin_id)
ImportError: RosPluginlibPluginProvider.load() could not load plugin "rqt_rviz/RViz"

Also, if I open directly rqt with

rosrun rqt_gui rqt_gui

and then I try to add manually Rviz plugin, I get the same error.

What could I do to solve this?

Thank you in advance.

I am trying to use kinematics_msgs package, which depends on motion_planning_msgs.

So I have downloaded motion_planning_msgs package and tried to compile, but when i do rosmake motion_planning_msgs, this never ends compiling.

I've seen this package has been deprecated, but if I want to use kinematics_msgs, what should I do?

Thank you in advance

I use openni_kinect and openni_tracker to track with kinect. Then, when a user is detected I can see the /tf in Rviz and it works.

However, when I try to use markers (eg. hone_markers, pointing_markers, ...) I see nothing in rviz. Topics are ok I think, because if I look rxgraph everything seems ok (rviz subscribed to topic /hone_markers, for example).

What should I do in order to visualize the markers in rviz?

Thanks in advance

I have already solved my problem.

I had to open Synaptic, look for ros-electric there, and mark for complete removal. Then I could reinstall it again.

I have removed ROS in order to solve some problems I had, but I removed the "ros" folder in /opt sending it to the trash, which I think was a bad idea.

I have tried to reinstall ROS again, but when I do $ sudo apt-get install ros-electric-desktop-full

only the "stacks" folder is created inside /opt/electric.

I have done $ sudo apt-get remove ros-electric-desktop-full and tried to reinstall it again, but i doesn't work.

What should I do to get ROS again, please?

Thank you

Hi, There are different version controls like hg, svn, bzr etc. Bazaar is the version control you are talking about. The command for checking out from bzr is

bzr checkout <https://link> <local_directory_path>

you can google to know more about this version control.

Hope this helps, Karthik

That worked, thank you!

Hello,

I am new with ROS, so I think this question is easy to answer, but I haven't found it in FAQ.

I am trying to download the kinect_camera package, from this site: http://ros.org/wiki/kinect_camera

The problem is that the source address is not like all other packages I've seen. The source address is: bzr lp:cyphy or lp:cyphy

I usually type (to download a package): svn co <sourceaddress>

and this works with a normal address (eg. http://svn.pointclouds.org/ros/trunk/perception_pcl_unstable/pcl for a pcl package)

What should I do to download the kinect_camera package? I use Ubuntu.

Thank you in advanced, if the question was already answer please forgive me, I didn't found it.
