I got a working system again by performing sudo apt-get install python-ros*. I still don't really know what happened, but at least it's working.

I just installed a fresh sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-fulland it looks like it installed the majority of ros tools, however I'm missing at least roscore and rosrun.

I can download them individually with sudo apt-get install roslaunch-python and sudo apt-get install rosbash But now it seems that rospack can't find any of my packages.

I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, but I've successfully done this dozens of times without any problems.

Any ideas why ros-kinetic-desktop-full isn't giving me the full complement of ros tools?

Thanks

Do you happen to be using a USB 3.0 port? I know that XTION devices have to undergo a firmware upgrade in order to work on a USB 3.0 port. (even the USB 2.0 devices)

Hello, I just got an ELP-USBFHD01M-L21 UVC webcam I want to use with ROS. It supports 120 FPS with 640x480 resolution via mjpeg encoding, which I have confirmed with guvcview. However, I cannot get either libuvc_camera or uvc_camera to support this encoding, and I'm forced to use the 30 fps supported by yuyv encoding.

Is there a webcam driver for ROS that supports mjpeg, or any way I can modify libuvc_camera to recognize this encoding? It seems that mjpeg is not recognized, and defaults to yuyv.

I'm using ROS indigo on 14.04 ubuntu.

If you're using C++ you can use system("pkill roslaunch") in your node to kill the roslaunch from the system level. I use it for monte carlo simulations with Gazebo).

It looks to me like a custom message isn't being built. Check to make sure that your IOWrapper package CMakeLists.txt has a dependency on lsd_slam_viewer_generate_messages_cpp. Here is another question that explains how to properly build messages from separate packages.

Hi, This is my first question I've ever asked here, so forgive me if this is stupid:

I am trying to publish Imu messages from an Arduino connected to an accelerometer/gyro. When I compile, I get this error:

In file included from ~/vo_ws/src/imu/firmware/imu.cpp:18:0:
~/vo_ws/build/imu/ros_lib/sensor_msgs/Imu.h:1:0: error: unterminated #ifndef
 #ifndef _ROS_sensor_msgs_Imu_h

I looked into this, and the Imu.h file in my ~/sketchbook/libraries/ros_lib folder is incomplete. It looks like this:

#ifndef _ROS_sensor_msgs_Imu_h
#define _ROS_sensor_msgs_Imu_h

#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "ros/msg.h"
#include "std_msgs/Header.h"
#include "geometry_msgs/Quaternion.h"
#include "geometry_msgs/Vector3.h"

namespace sensor_msgs
{

  class Imu : public ros::Msg
  {
    public:
      std_msgs::Header header;
      geometry_msgs::Quaternion orientation;
      float orientation_covariance[9];
      geometry_msgs::Vector3 angular_velocity;
      float angular_velocity_covariance[9];
      geometry_msgs::Vector3 linear_acceleration;
      float linear_acceleration_covariance[9];

    Imu():
      header(),
      orientation(),

and that's the end. It seems to me that the file should have a lot more in it. I've tried deleting ros_lib and re-creating it with make_libraries.py a few times with no luck. Any ideas?
